## 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 ap-news-website-uptime-change-watch-a5978027
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on apnews.com for me and let me know if its up/down status changes — compare it against the last check and show me what flipped.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you want to detect changes in apnews.com availability over time rather than just a one-shot status check. It is ideal for scheduled polling workflows where you need to be alerted only when the status actually flips, and where you want structured before/after diffs rather than raw current state. Prefer the plain is-down endpoint if you only need the current status without change detection.

## Known failure modes

- No previous result stored yet (first call returns no diff)
- Previous result expired after 90 days, diff unavailable
- apnews.com check itself times out or returns ambiguous result
- Payment failure for the $0.02 USDC per-call fee blocks the request

## How this service works

Change watch for is apnews com down: runs the check, compares it with the result from your previous call for the same query (kept 90 days) and returns the current answer, changed true/false, the fields that changed with before/after values, and when it was last seen. Schedule it to be alerted when this changes. $0.02 per check.

## Output

Returns the current up/down answer for apnews.com, a boolean 'changed' field indicating whether the result differs from the previous call (stored up to 90 days), a list of fields that changed with their before and after values, and a timestamp of when the status was last seen.
