# Disruption Intelligence Ripple API – Signals Endpoint

> Disruption Intelligence Ripple API – Signals Endpoint is a paid API for AI agents from disruption.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a diversified sampler of geospatial disruption signals derived from WARN filings and labor events, with downstream commercial ripple effects and sector-impact paths

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://disruption.forgemesh.io/ripple/signals
- Price: $0.1/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 disruption-intelligence-ripple-api-signals-endpoint-531303c6
```

Example prompt: Pull me up to 5 disruption ripple signals focused on Meta layoffs — I want to see the commercial angles and downstream business effects for staffing firms and consultants in that region.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a broad, diversified sampler of labor-disruption-driven commercial signals across geographies or companies before deciding where to invest deeper research. It is the discovery and routing layer — ideal for business-development prospecting, identifying which disruption events have the most downstream commercial potential, and triaging before purchasing deeper sector-impact unlocks. Prefer it over the brief or sector-impact endpoints when you don't yet know which signal or region to focus on.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed query returns default open sampler with no focus
- limit exceeding 10 is clamped to 10
- No signals available for a very narrow or obscure query may return empty results
- Payment not completed (x402 flow) results in 402 Payment Required before data is returned
- Coverage lag means signals may not reflect very recent filings or events

## How this service works

Ripple Signals: downstream business effects from workforce disruption

## Output

A JSON object containing up to 10 diversified disruption signals, each with a title, confidence band (e.g. high), evidence basis (WARN filings, event severity, procurement opportunities), commercial angle description, warnings about coverage limitations, and a ripple path inventory showing the count of downstream sector impacts plus an unlock endpoint for deeper analysis. Also includes navigation hints for refining queries by company, region, or industry.
