# Factline Watch – Create Ongoing Monitor

> Factline Watch – Create Ongoing Monitor is a paid API for AI agents from factline.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Creates a persistent watch subscription to monitor a sanctions/PEP person, a company (across 10+ registers), or a Dutch vehicle (APK) for changes, sending alerts via webhook or a polling URL.

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 factline-watch-create-ongoing-monitor-c0a1387f
```

Example prompt: Set up a daily Factline watch on Ryanair (Irish company, IE:Ryanair) so I get alerted via https://my.app/webhooks/factline if anything changes in the company register or its sanctions status.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need continuous, automated monitoring of an entity over time rather than a one-off lookup. It is the right choice for compliance workflows, AML/KYC screening pipelines, fleet management (APK), or any scenario where you need to be notified of changes rather than checking manually. Prefer the one-off lookup endpoints for immediate, single-shot checks.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'kind' enum value returns a validation error
- Invalid entity value format (e.g. missing country prefix for company) causes rejection
- Webhook URL not reachable or not HTTPS may be accepted but alerts will silently fail
- Expired or invalid x402 payment token returns 402 Payment Required
- Duplicate watches on the same entity may return a new watch or reference the existing one depending on API logic

## How this service works

Sanctions and company monitoring for 30 days with alerts. Use when the user wants to be told later: watches one item for 30 days, paid once, no account. kind=sanctions (a name, re-screened when the EU, UN, UK or US lists change), company (COUNTRY:name or number, register checked daily) or apk (Dutch plate, daily). Alerts go to webhook and to /v1/watch/alerts with the returned token. Input: kind, value, optional webhook, label.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a unique watch_id and a reusable token (wt_…), the alerts polling URL, a human-readable description of what is checked and how often, the optional webhook that was registered, and the expiry date of the watch subscription.
