# gc.ca Downtime Change Watch

> gc.ca Downtime Change Watch is a paid API for AI agents from monitor.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Monitors whether gc.ca (Government of Canada) is down and returns the current status plus a change diff compared to your previous check, enabling scheduled alerting on status changes.

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 gc-ca-downtime-change-watch-b56b331d
```

Example prompt: Check if gc.ca is down right now and tell me whether the status has changed since the last time I checked — I want to know if anything is different.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need change-aware monitoring of gc.ca — not just a point-in-time status check, but detection of transitions (up→down or down→up) with before/after field diffs. Ideal for scheduling recurring checks and triggering alerts only when something actually changes, rather than processing every poll result.

## Known failure modes

- No previous check stored (first call returns no diff)
- gc.ca itself may be unreachable causing ambiguous down results
- Payment not completed or insufficient USDC balance ($0.02 required per call)
- Stored comparison result expired after 90 days, resetting diff baseline
- Transient network error preventing the check from completing

## How this service works

Change watch for is gc ca 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 status of gc.ca, a boolean 'changed' flag indicating whether the result differs from the previous call (stored up to 90 days), a list of fields that changed with before/after values, and a timestamp of when the status was last observed.
