> NEAR Account Age & Origin is a paid API for AI agents from 402.com.tr, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Returns the creation date, creator account, and deletion status of a NEAR account to assess its provenance and Sybil-resistance trust signal.

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 near-account-age-origin-7182b46a
```

Example prompt: How old is the NEAR account alice.near — when was it created, who created it, and has it ever been deleted?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need NEAR account provenance — specifically creation date, creator identity, and deletion status — rather than current balance or transaction history. Prefer it over near-account (which gives current state) when your primary concern is trust assessment, Sybil detection, or counterparty due diligence based on account age and origin. Best paired with near-wallet-activity for a fuller trust picture.

## Known failure modes

- Account not found on NearBlocks — returns error if the account ID was never indexed or is malformed
- Network or indexer unavailability — NearBlocks may be temporarily unreachable
- Invalid account ID format — NEAR account IDs must follow valid naming rules
- Deleted accounts may have incomplete metadata depending on indexer coverage

## How this service works

Before you trust, pay or copy a NEAR account — or one of the agents on NEAR AI's Agent Market — is it established or created minutes ago? near-account gives the current state; this gives the PROVENANCE: the creation date (age), the creator (first provenance hop), and whether it's since been deleted, from the NearBlocks indexer. Age is a first-order Sybil/trust signal — new ≠ malicious, but a fresh counterparty warrants caution. Pair with near-wallet-activity. Not financial advice.

## Output

Returns the NEAR account's creation timestamp (and derived age), the account ID of its creator (first provenance hop), and a flag indicating whether the account has since been deleted — sourced from the NearBlocks indexer.
