## 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 the-guardian-down-status-change-watch-7e12a0fb
```

Example prompt: Check if theguardian.com has changed its up/down status since the last time we checked — tell me whether it's currently down and whether anything changed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to detect changes in theguardian.com availability rather than just polling current status — the built-in before/after diffing and 90-day memory make it ideal for scheduled change-alerting workflows without managing state yourself. Prefer it over generic uptime checkers when you want a stateful, diff-aware result for The Guardian specifically.

## Known failure modes

- No previous result stored (first call returns no diff/changed=false by definition)
- Stored result expired after 90 days causing loss of comparison baseline
- theguardian.com temporarily unreachable causing ambiguous down detection
- Payment failure (x402) preventing the check from running
- Network timeout at monitor origin returning inconclusive status

## How this service works

Change watch for is theguardian com down: runs the check, compares it with the result from your previous call for the same query (kept 90 days) and returns the current answer, changed true/false, the fields that changed with before/after values, and when it was last seen. Schedule it to be alerted when this changes. $0.02 per check.

## Output

Returns the current up/down answer for theguardian.com, a boolean 'changed' flag indicating whether status differs from the previous call, a diff of which fields changed with before and after values, and the timestamp of when the site was last seen in its current state. Previous result is retained for 90 days per query.
