# RubyGems Package Change Tracker

> RubyGems Package Change Tracker is a paid API for AI agents from oracles-production.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns new releases and breaking changes for Ruby gem packages since a given timestamp, each scored 1-10 for significance and tagged as new_release or breaking_change.

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 rubygems-package-change-tracker-00b4ce72
```

Example prompt: Can you check RubyGems for any new releases or breaking changes to the 'devise' gem since 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z, and only show me changes with a significance score of at least 7?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to monitor Ruby gem packages for new releases or semver breaking changes (major version bumps), especially when you need a relevance/significance score to prioritize which updates matter most. Prefer this over generic changelog scraping when you want structured, scored change events with source URLs for Ruby-specific packages and need to filter by time window or significance threshold.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled package name returns empty changes array
- Invalid ISO-8601 timestamp in 'since' causes 400 error
- Package exists on RubyGems but has no tracked changes in the window — returns count 0
- limit parameter out of range (below 1 or above 500) causes validation error
- Network timeout fetching live package data for untracked gems
- min_significance too high filters out all results, returning empty array

## How this service works

New releases of tracked Ruby gem packages (rails, rack, puma, sidekiq, and more) on RubyGems (Ruby) since a timestamp — each tagged new_release or breaking_change (major-version bump) with a 1-10 significance score. Answers "did a dependency in my Gemfile ship a new or breaking version I should pin or upgrade?" Pass ?package=<name> for ANY Ruby gem package on demand.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of matching changes, the source identifier, and an array of change records — each with a type (new_release or breaking_change), title, summary, significance score (1-10), entityId, sourceUrl for verification, detectedAt timestamp, and effectiveDate.
