# NBA.com Downtime Change Watch

> NBA.com Downtime 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).

## 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 nba-com-downtime-change-watch-b87599c6
```

Example prompt: Check whether NBA.com is down right now and let me know if its status has changed since the last time I asked — show me what changed and when it was last seen up or down.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need change-detection semantics — not just the current status, but whether something has shifted since last time. Ideal for polling loops or scheduled agents that want to be notified only when nba.com's availability state transitions, rather than re-processing unchanged results on every call.

## Known failure modes

- No previous check stored (first call returns changed=false or null diff)
- nba.com check itself times out, returning ambiguous status
- Previous result expired beyond 90-day retention window, losing diff context
- Payment failure via x402 preventing the check from running
- Transient network error at monitoring host producing false positive downtime reading

## How this service works

Change watch for is nba 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 nba.com, a boolean 'changed' flag indicating whether the status differs from the previous check (retained for 90 days), a list of fields that changed with their before and after values, and the timestamp of when the status was last observed.
