# Strale Code Review API

> Strale Code Review API is a paid API for AI agents from api.strale.io, paid per call via x402, $0.216/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Performs automated code review with configurable focus areas (security, performance, readability, bugs, or all) and returns structured findings with an audit trail.

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 strale-code-review-api-c54ee7e4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a security-focused code review on this Python function I just wrote? Here's the code: [paste code]. Flag any vulnerabilities, insecure patterns, or edge cases I might have missed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an auditable, agent-callable code review with a configurable focus (security, bugs, performance, readability) and want structured JSON output with a cryptographic audit chain. Prefer over generic LLM code review when you need provenance records, consistent structured output, or micropayment-based per-call billing without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing code field returns validation error
- Unsupported language may produce incomplete analysis
- Very large code submissions may time out or be truncated
- Invalid focus enum value may default to 'all' or return an error
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 status before analysis begins

## How this service works

AI code review. Returns issues with severity, line numbers, fix suggestions. Focus on security, performance, readability, or bugs.

## Output

Returns structured code review findings categorized by the requested focus area (security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, readability issues, bugs), along with severity ratings and recommendations. Each response includes a cryptographic audit record for provenance tracking.
