> Delx OpenAPI Breaking Change Detector is a paid API for AI agents from commerce.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

## 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 delx-openapi-breaking-change-detector-2d694416 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compare these two OpenAPI specs and tell me if the new version introduces any breaking changes — specifically whether any paths or methods were removed: here's the old spec and here's the new one I'm about to deploy.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use, no-signup check for OpenAPI breaking changes — specifically for detecting removed paths and methods. Prefer it over manual diffing tools or heavyweight API governance platforms when you need a lightweight, automatable, agent-friendly check with verifiable delivery and crypto micropayment billing.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or invalid JSON in either spec document causing parse failure
- Missing required 'new_spec' or 'old_spec' fields returning an error
- Specs with no version metadata resulting in empty version fields
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocking request execution
- Semantic schema compatibility issues flagged in scope but not fully analyzed beyond path/method removal

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object indicating whether the new spec introduces breaking changes (boolean), a human-readable scope description, a list of removed operations with their paths, a count of removed operations, and the old and new version strings.
