x402
how.is Site Status Checker is a paid API for AI agents from how.is, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).
Performs a live multi-signal check on up to 10 URLs, returning HTTP status, latency, DNS resolve time, resolved IP, TTL, nameservers, TLS certificate days remaining, and server info.

How this service works
Live check of one or more URLs: HTTP status, latency, DNS resolve time, resolved IP, TTL, nameservers, TLS days remaining.
Output
A JSON object keyed by each submitted URL, where each entry contains: ok (boolean reachability), code (HTTP status code), ms (response latency in milliseconds), dns_ms (DNS resolve time in milliseconds), ip (resolved IP address), ttl (DNS TTL), ns (nameservers array), cert_days (TLS certificate days remaining), server (server header value), and ts (timestamp of the check). Also includes a receipt confirming the x402 micropayment of $0.005 USDC.
Example use cases
Pre-deployment site health check
“Before I launch the new version, can you check https://myapp.com and https://api.myapp.com — I need their HTTP status, response time in milliseconds, and how many days remain on their SSL certs to make sure everything looks good?”
Certificate expiry alert triage
“My monitoring system flagged a possible cert issue — can you check https://shop.acmecorp.com live right now and tell me how many days are left on its TLS certificate, plus whether it's returning a normal 200 status?”
Multi-site vendor uptime verification
“I need a quick live health check on these three vendor URLs: https://vendor1.io, https://vendor2.net, and https://vendor3.com — please get me their HTTP status codes, latency in ms, DNS resolve times, and resolved IPs.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://how.is/v1/check/site?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a live, real-time probe of a URL's actual HTTP reachability, latency, DNS resolution, and TLS certificate status — especially when you need all of these signals in a single call for up to 10 URLs. Prefer it over generic uptime monitors when you need raw DNS and TLS data alongside HTTP status, or when you need an on-demand check rather than scheduled polling. It complements the how.is safety and domain-intelligence endpoints by providing pure infrastructure-layer health signals.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-2xx status — reflected in ok=false and code fields rather than an error
- Invalid or malformed URL submitted — likely a 400-level validation error
- More than 10 URLs submitted — rejected due to maxItems constraint
- DNS resolution failure — dns_ms may be null or error indicated in response
- TLS/cert inspection may fail for HTTP-only sites with no cert — cert_days returns null
- Payment failure on x402 rail — request not processed if micropayment cannot be settled
