# SperaxOS Service Status Check

> SperaxOS Service Status Check is a paid API for AI agents from chat.sperax.io, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Checks the current operational status of the SperaxOS x402 DeFi intelligence API service via a lightweight HEAD request

## Facts

- Endpoint: HEAD https://chat.sperax.io/api/x402/intel/service-status?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-11
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/speraxos-service-status-check-6a469d0e
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_3KvlaqE8kxpPP9GtZ4wRG

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 speraxos-service-status-check-6a469d0e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you quickly check whether the SperaxOS DeFi intelligence API is up and responding right now before I start making paid calls to it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a cheap, zero-cost (HEAD requests typically don't trigger the $0.005 payment) sanity check before committing to paid DeFi intelligence calls on the SperaxOS platform. Prefer this over full GET requests when you only need to verify reachability, not retrieve data. Ideal for pre-flight checks in automated DeFi agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable: returns 503 or 5xx status if SperaxOS infrastructure is down
- Payment required: returns 402 if the endpoint requires payment even for HEAD (unexpected for status checks)
- Timeout: no response if service is unreachable or severely degraded
- DNS resolution failure: if the chat.sperax.io domain is unreachable
- Rate limiting: 429 if probing too frequently

## How this service works

AI-powered DeFi intelligence APIs payable via the x402 HTTP payment protocol. No API key required — pay per request with USDC on Base. Identity-only (SIWX) endpoints are free for wallets with an agentcash identity.

## Output

Returns HTTP response headers and status code (200 OK if the service is operational, non-2xx or connection failure if degraded or down). Because this is a HEAD request, no response body is returned — availability is inferred from the HTTP status code and response headers.
