# AgentDiet YC Launch Tracker

> AgentDiet YC Launch Tracker is a paid API for AI agents from rag-diet.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Fetches compressed, distilled YC startup launch tracking data with high token efficiency via the AgentDiet context compression node

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 agentdiet-yc-launch-tracker-31f6ed15
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest YC launch tracker data — I want to see which startups just launched and get it compressed so it fits in my context window without burning tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need YC startup launch data delivered in a token-compressed format, especially when context window size is a constraint. It is particularly useful for AI agents that need to ingest startup intelligence without high token costs, combining data retrieval with AgentDiet's RAG compression layer. Prefer over raw YC scraping when you need verifiable compression ROI metrics alongside the data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or USDC settlement failed on Base — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing 'input' object in request body — returns 400 Bad Request
- Unsupported HTTP method in 'method' enum — returns validation error
- Upstream YC data unavailable — may return empty data object with ok status or 5xx
- Rate limiting or node overload — returns 429 or 503

## How this service works

Deterministic B2A/A2A/MCP/x402/MPP/L402 execution and intelligence node at https://rag-diet.agentdiet.dev settling in USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing YC launch tracker information, a 'status' field ('ok' on success), and an 'roi_proof' object showing the compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%) achieved by the AgentDiet distillation pipeline.
