# IBM.com Uptime Change Watch

> IBM.com Uptime 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).

Checks if ibm.com is down, compares with your previous result, and returns what changed — for scheduled uptime alerting.

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 ibm-com-uptime-change-watch-28b0e4e4
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on ibm.com for me — every time you call this, tell me if its up/down status has changed since the last check and what specifically flipped.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to detect *changes* in ibm.com availability rather than just a one-time status check. It is ideal for scheduled polling workflows where you want to be alerted only when something flips, avoiding alert fatigue from repeated identical results. Prefer this over a plain is-down check when you need before/after field diffs and a change timestamp for incident tracking or audit trails.

## Known failure modes

- ibm.com unreachable from Cloudflare edge — returns down status, not an API error
- No previous stored result exists (first call) — 'changed' may be null or undefined
- Payment not included or rejected — x402 payment required response
- Network timeout reaching ibm.com — may return ambiguous or error status
- Stale comparison data if 90-day window exceeded — previous result purged

## How this service works

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