## 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 is-usa-gov-down-watch-3a5787e4
```

Example prompt: Check if usa.gov's status has changed since the last time you looked — tell me whether it's up or down right now, and flag any fields that changed compared to the previous check.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to detect changes in usa.gov's availability over time rather than just a one-time status check. It is ideal for scheduled polling workflows where you only want to act on state transitions (e.g., site went from up to down), leveraging the built-in 90-day state memory to avoid re-alerting on unchanged conditions.

## Known failure modes

- Network timeout reaching usa.gov from Cloudflare edge — returns error or degraded status
- No prior call stored for this query — 'changed' may be null or false on first invocation
- Payment failure via x402 — check not executed
- usa.gov itself is unreachable — returns down status with appropriate HTTP error details

## How this service works

Change watch for is usa gov 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 usa.gov, a boolean 'changed' flag indicating whether the result differs from the previous call, a diff of which fields changed with before and after values, and the timestamp of when it was last seen. State is retained for 90 days per query.
