# TruthBear ESG Fund Greenwash Chain (gauge/esgfund-region) > TruthBear ESG Fund Greenwash Chain (gauge/esgfund-region) is a paid API for AI agents from api.truthbear.co, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14). Returns a 3-leg sequential greenwashing signal chain for a monitored ESG fund, covering label pressure, SFDR Article 9/8 downgrade status, and rating de-listing lifecycle confirmation. ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://api.truthbear.co/gauge/esgfund-region - Price: $0.25/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-09-14 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/truthbear-esg-fund-greenwash-chain-gauge-esgfund-region-fbb25474 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_yYLikFbhPMxgWlYTgDn1r 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 truthbear-esg-fund-greenwash-chain-gauge-esgfund-region-fbb25474 ``` Example prompt: Can you pull the greenwash chain reading for the BlackRock Article 9 downgrade fund — I want to see how many legs are confirmed and what the current SFDR classification status is? ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need a structured, multi-leg greenwash signal chain for a specific named ESG fund, particularly for SFDR Article 9-to-8 downgrade monitoring, ESG label removal tracking, or rating de-listing confirmation. It is especially useful for compliance teams, ESG analysts, or financial agents needing a sequentially gated confidence signal rather than a single-point rating. Prefer this over generic ESG data providers when you need the specific TruthBear chain methodology with confidence scoring based on how many legs are confirmed. The 422 no-charge model makes exploratory use low-risk. ## Known failure modes - 422 no_charge: no data available for the requested entity — call is not billed - Invalid or unrecognized entity ID returns an error or empty chain - Entity not in the monitored set (only ~20 total entities supported) causes rejection - Missing required 'entity' query parameter causes request failure - Service downtime or upstream registry data gaps may cause incomplete leg reads ## How this service works [3-LEG] ESG fund greenwash chain, one fund (?entity=blackrock-art9-downgrade): leading label pressure, SFDR Article 9 to 8 downgrade and ESG name removal -> current current classification -> realized rating de-listing and lifecycle (confirmation gate). A chain, not one reading: confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: SFDR filings and rating registries. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed. $0.25 per call. ## Output A JSON object representing a 3-leg sequential greenwash chain: leg 1 indicates leading label pressure signals, leg 2 shows current SFDR classification (Article 9 vs Article 8 downgrade) and ESG name removal status, leg 3 confirms rating de-listing and lifecycle stage. An overall confidence score reflects how many legs are lit in sequence. If no data is available, a 422 no_charge error is returned and the call is not billed. Results are descriptive only — no forecasts or investment advice. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method", "queryParams" ], "properties": { "type": { "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "entity" ], "properties": { "entity": { "type": "string", "examples": [ "dws-group-desg", "dws-esg-us-order", "blackrock-art9-downgrade", "amundi-art9-index-range", "pimco-art9-downgrade", "robeco-art9-reclass" ], "description": "required - monitored object id, paired with signal_id; free list at GET /gauge/catalog?signal_id= -> signals[0].entities[]", "x-accepted-values": { "all": "https://api.truthbear.co/schemas/gauge-esgfund-region.input.json", "shown": 6, "total": 20 } } }, "additionalProperties": false } } }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "const": "json" }, "example": {} } } } } ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "legs": { "lifecycle": { "band": "ended", "source_ref": "https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-194", "record_hash": "sha256:984f8fbe86c16a61c681f3f021be52c5b3028a5a0c84167c52893187b4a106a0" }, "rating_drift": { "band": "excluded", "source_ref": "https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-194", "record_hash": "sha256:d1db03182bd7d4cdbde3bda6817262a66be1ea69d64bfdffea53c62fb8f8f33f" }, "holdings_cascade": { "band": "confirmed", "source_ref": "https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-194", "record_hash": "sha256:00ad0a3bb5d8783941113060f573a8dbecd61d8483a8d4c3dda812b98551f2c5" } }, "name": "DWS Group (ESG franchise)", "grade": "screening-level, not decision-grade", "scope": { "full": "https://api.truthbear.co/scope/v1", "verifiability": "unknown", "monitoring_not_forecast": true, "intelligence_not_command": true }, "entity": "dws-group-desg", "nature": "This API supplies data organisation and trend description only.
