x402
Task Relay URL Health Check is a paid API for AI agents from task-relay-production.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).
Performs a single bounded reachability observation on a public HTTP/HTTPS URL, returning DNS, redirect, HTTP status, TLS validity, content fingerprint, and timing data in a machine-readable result.

How this service works
When a machine must decide whether to continue, defer, or reject work on one public HTTP or HTTPS URL, Task Relay performs a single bounded reachability observation (DNS, redirects, HTTP status, TLS validity, sampled content fingerprint, elapsed time) and returns a strict statused machine-readable result for automated gating. Single-shot observation only; not continuous monitoring and not page extraction.
Output
Returns a JSON object with task_id and task_status (succeeded/failed), plus a result object containing: reachability status enum (live, redirected, http_error, timeout, dns_error, tls_error, unknown), HTTP status code, final URL after redirects, full redirect chain and count, DNS details, TLS validity details, content fingerprint, timing metrics, checked_at timestamp, requested URL, and billable_units. On failure, an error string is included.
Example use cases
Gate pipeline before URL ingestion
“Before we start processing, check if https://partner-api.example.com/feed is actually reachable — I need to know the HTTP status, whether TLS is valid, and if it redirects anywhere, so we can decide whether to proceed.”
Validate user-submitted URL before storing
“A user just submitted https://mysite.example.org/report as a source link — can you quickly probe it to confirm it's live and returns a 200 before we save it to the database?”
Pre-flight check before automated workflow
“Before triggering the nightly job, run a reachability observation on https://data.govsite.org/exports/latest.csv and tell me the DNS result, HTTP status, and how long it took to respond so I can decide whether to defer or proceed.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://task-relay-production.up.railway.app/x402/url-healthWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an automated agent or pipeline needs a single-shot, machine-readable go/no-go signal about a public URL before committing to downstream work. It is ideal for pre-flight gating — checking before ingestion, storage, or workflow trigger — rather than continuous uptime monitoring. Prefer it over generic HTTP probes when you need structured output covering DNS, TLS, redirects, timing, and content fingerprint in one bounded observation.
Side effects
- Private, loopback, or cloud metadata URLs are rejected by implementation
- DNS resolution failure returns status dns_error
- TLS certificate issues return status tls_error
- Connection timeout returns status timeout
- Non-2xx HTTP responses return status http_error with the actual status code
- Malformed or missing URL in request body returns an error
- Service unavailability on Railway hosting may cause unexpected failures
