# News Gurus Agent Status

> News Gurus Agent Status is a paid API for AI agents from api.newsgurus.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Returns the current status and activity of all AI trading intelligence agents, including how many signals each generated in the last 24 hours and when each was last active.

## Facts

- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402

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 news-gurus-agent-status-62543412
```

Example prompt: Can you check the News Gurus agent status and tell me which AI trading agents are active right now, how many signals each one generated in the last 24 hours, and when they were last seen?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time snapshot of which News Gurus AI trading agents are operational and productive — particularly before relying on downstream signal endpoints, or when monitoring agent health in an automated workflow. Prefer this over generic uptime monitors because it returns agent-level granularity (ideas per agent, last-seen time) rather than just a binary up/down status.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not sent or insufficient USDC — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Network or upstream service outage — endpoint may return 503 or timeout
- Malformed request — unlikely given no required inputs, but may return 400 if unexpected body is sent
- Stale data — fetched_at timestamp may lag if backend aggregation is delayed

## How this service works

News Gurus Intel API — liveness probe: per-agent intelligence output counts over the last 24h with last-seen timestamps, across the 40+ data agents. Verify the engine is live before buying data — same price tier as /x402/regime. Educational data, not financial advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of all agents with their name, number of trading ideas generated in the past 24 hours, and last-seen timestamp, plus a total count of agents active in the last 24 hours and the time the data was fetched.
