# GitHub.com Downtime Change Watch

> GitHub.com 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 GitHub.com is down and alerts when the status changes compared to the previous check, returning changed fields with before/after values.

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 github-com-downtime-change-watch-d4b689dd
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on whether GitHub.com is up or down, and let me know if anything changes compared to last time you checked — I want to know the moment the status flips.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need change-detection semantics — not just a point-in-time check but a comparison against a stored previous result. Ideal for scheduling periodic polls and only acting on state transitions (e.g., GitHub going from up to down or vice versa). Prefer this over a simple is-down check when you want diff-style before/after output and don't want to manage state yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Network error reaching GitHub.com results in inconclusive status
- No previous check stored yet (first call) so 'changed' may be indeterminate
- Stale history if more than 90 days have passed since last call
- Payment failure ($0.02 USDC) blocks the check from executing
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the monitor provider side

## How this service works

Change watch for is github 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 status of GitHub.com, a boolean 'changed' flag indicating whether the status differs from the previous call, a list of changed fields with before/after values, and the timestamp of when the status was last observed. Result history is retained for 90 days per query.
