# HTTP Status Code Lookup

> HTTP Status Code Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from cocoeatsai.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Returns the human-readable meaning, class, and retry guidance for any HTTP status code

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 http-status-code-lookup-ab385a14
```

Example prompt: What does HTTP status code 429 mean — is it a client error, should I retry, and what's the plain-English explanation?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to programmatically decode an HTTP status code into human-readable meaning and retry guidance — especially useful for dynamic error-handling logic, user-facing error explanations, or building retry policies in workflows. Prefer over hardcoded lookup tables when you need a consistent, up-to-date reference with retry semantics included.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or invalid status code string returns an error or empty result
- Non-numeric code input may fail schema validation
- Codes outside standard HTTP ranges may return no known meaning

## Output

A JSON object containing the numeric status code, its class (e.g. 'client error', 'server error', 'success'), a plain-English meaning string, and a boolean indicating whether the caller should retry the request.
