# Pre-Deploy Link Audit API (hustler-extract /deploycheck)

> Pre-Deploy Link Audit API (hustler-extract /deploycheck) is a paid API for AI agents from x402-extract-service.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-19).

Scans a list of staging or production URLs for broken links before deployment, returning pass/fail status with details on each broken link found.

## Facts

- Price: $0.02/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 pre-deploy-link-audit-api-hustler-extract-deploycheck-6b6e0f75 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I push to production, scan https://staging.example.com/ and https://staging.example.com/about for broken links — include images and scripts, check up to 200 links per page, and fail the build if anything is broken.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need an automated, pre-deployment broken-link gate that integrates with CI/CD pipelines and supports pay-per-call USDC micropayments via x402 on Base. Prefer it over general crawlers when you want a fast, targeted audit of specific staging or production pages (up to 25 at a time) with pass/fail semantics suitable for blocking deployments.

## Known failure modes

- More than 25 URLs submitted — request rejected
- Target site is unreachable or times out — failedPages populated
- Invalid URL format in input array — validation error
- maxLinksPerPage exceeds cap of 500 — capped or rejected
- Payment in USDC via x402 fails — request not processed

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a boolean 'ok' field, a 'pass' field indicating build health, an array of broken links (each with URL, kind, source page, HTTP error, status code, and link text), a human-readable summary, timestamp, duration in milliseconds, counts of pages and links checked, and the USDC amount paid.
