# Acurast Job Deployer

> Acurast Job Deployer is a paid API for AI agents from deploy.acu.run, paid per call via x402, $0.079/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Deploys a script as a decentralized compute job on the Acurast network with configurable schedule, runtime, and processor assignment strategy

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://deploy.acu.run
- Price: $0.079/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability acurast-job-deployer-cdc54e59 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Deploy my Node.js script at ipfs://QmZ9mvN4RFCqSqivB2LF3VF1qgrDGTW393PJezbdPy7nH2 on Acurast to run once immediately using a single processor slot with verified sources only.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to deploy a script for decentralized, trustless execution on the Acurast network — especially when you require tamper-proof compute, scheduled recurring jobs, or execution by verified processors without relying on centralized cloud infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'script' query parameter returns validation error
- Invalid IPFS hash format causes job creation failure
- Insufficient reward amount leads to no processor assignment
- Invalid runtime enum value returns schema validation error
- Unresolvable IPFS hash causes script fetch failure
- Network congestion may delay processor assignment

## How this service works

Deploy jobs to Acurast decentralized cloud with automatic payment

## Output

Returns a confirmation object indicating the job was deployed on the Acurast network, including the job type and deployment details.
