# License Intel – SPDX Deprecated Check

> License Intel – SPDX Deprecated Check is a paid API for AI agents from license-intel.x402tookit.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).

Check up to 50 SPDX license IDs to determine whether each is current, deprecated, or unknown, and get suggested modern GNU -only/-or-later equivalents.

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 license-intel-spdx-deprecated-check-517c3377
```

Example prompt: Check whether these license IDs are current, deprecated, or unknown according to SPDX: GPL-2.0, LGPL-2.1, MIT, Apache-2.0, and Classpath-exception-2.0 — and if any are deprecated, tell me the suggested modern replacement.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to batch-validate a known list of SPDX license identifiers for deprecation status and want modern GNU replacement suggestions. Prefer it over the single-ID lookup endpoint when processing multiple licenses at once (up to 50), and over the expression validator when working with individual flat IDs rather than compound SPDX expressions.

## Known failure modes

- More than 50 IDs submitted — excess IDs may appear in notChecked array
- Malformed or empty ids parameter — likely returns an error or empty results
- SPDX list temporarily unavailable — degraded flag set to true with partial or no results
- Network timeout or upstream API outage — service may return error response

## How this service works

Check a list of license ids against SPDX: current, deprecated or unknown, with the modern GNU -only / -or-later form.

## Output

Returns a per-ID breakdown with deprecation status (current, deprecated, or unknown), canonical SPDX ID, and suggested modern replacement (e.g. GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later) for each queried license. Also provides an overall verdict, summary, deprecated count, unknown count, SPDX list version and date, source URL, and any IDs that could not be checked.
