How this service works
PulseWatch manages 11 data types including abuse signals. Helps you organize, track, and share your work in 1 place for teams and solo users.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the vendor's current operational status (e.g. 'operational'), any active incident details or null if none, an incident summary string, match quality of the query, vendor metadata (name, slug, website, category), data freshness indicators (stale flag, cache flag, fetch timestamp), and the source URL on PulseWatch for the vendor's status page.
Example use cases
Pre-payment vendor health check
“Before we process this batch of payouts, can you check PulseWatch to see if Stripe is currently operational and has no active incidents?”
Monitoring a SaaS dependency
“Check PulseWatch to see if Twilio is up right now — I'm getting send failures and want to know if it's on their end.”
Dashboard status widget
“Pull the current operational status for Shopify from PulseWatch so I can display it in our team status dashboard.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.pulsewatch.us/v1/status?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time operational status and incident information for a known vendor, especially third-party SaaS services like payment processors, communication APIs, or cloud providers. Prefer this over generic uptime checkers when you want structured incident summaries and freshness metadata in a single API call. Best suited for agent workflows that gate actions on vendor health before proceeding.
Side effects
- Vendor not found in PulseWatch database — may return no match or low-quality match
- Stale data if the vendor status page was recently unreachable
- Query too short (minLength 2) or too long (maxLength 100) for the vendor parameter
- Upstream status page unavailable causing cached or incomplete response
- Payment required (402) if the x402 payment header is missing or invalid
