# Status State API – GitHub Monitor

> Status State API – GitHub Monitor is a paid API for AI agents from status-state-api.replit.app, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Returns the current normalized status, fault-first component list, and active incident details for GitHub's services.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://status-state-api.replit.app/api/monitors/github?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-02
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/status-state-api-github-monitor-50d455d9
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_EJCOWqIpddOXwDTFeeqnI

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 status-state-api-github-monitor-50d455d9
```

Example prompt: Is GitHub up right now? Pull the latest normalized status, list any affected components, and tell me if there's an active incident.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a normalized, structured GitHub status snapshot in one call without managing API keys or subscriptions — especially in agent workflows that need to gate actions on GitHub health. Prefer this over scraping status.github.com directly or using raw statuspage APIs when you want a consistent schema with fault-first component ordering and staleness signals built in. Ideal for lightweight polling at $0.01 per check paid in USDC on Base or Solana.

## Known failure modes

- Slug not found – returns error if 'github' slug is unrecognized or catalog has changed
- Payment failure – x402 payment not settled by PayAI facilitator; call is rejected
- Stale data – sourceUpdatedAt may lag if the upstream GitHub status page is slow to update
- Service unavailable – Replit host may be temporarily unreachable
- Rate or quota issues – though no API key required, facilitator may throttle abusive callers

## How this service works

Current normalized overall status, fault-first components, active incident (or closedIncidentSummary if stale), and poll clocks. overallStatus and hasActiveIncident are in the 402 JSON body so you can decide whether to pay. $0.01 per call in USDC on Base or Solana, verified and settled by the PayAI facilitator - no API key, no signup.

## Output

A JSON object containing: normalized overallStatus string, fault-first ordered components array, activeIncident object (or null), closedIncidentSummary if the last incident recently closed, lastCheckedAt and sourceUpdatedAt timestamps, staleness metadata, and checkIntervalMinutes poll clock. overallStatus and hasActiveIncident are available in the 402 response body before payment to help decide whether to proceed.
