# Vercel Status Monitor API

> Vercel Status Monitor API 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 2026-10-18).

Returns the current normalized operational status, fault-first component list, and active or recent incident details for Vercel via a pay-per-call x402 endpoint.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://status-state-api.replit.app/api/monitors/vercel?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-18
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/vercel-status-monitor-api-2f9ee0fb
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Ljyz_97H5Nx6960oFuUff

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 vercel-status-monitor-api-2f9ee0fb
```

Example prompt: Is Vercel currently experiencing any outages or degraded services? Give me the overall status and list any affected components or active incidents.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a normalized, machine-readable view of Vercel's operational status without managing API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal for agents that need to check Vercel health on demand, paying only $0.01 per call via USDC, and where the 402 preview (overallStatus + hasActiveIncident) lets you gate payment on whether an incident actually exists.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not fulfilled — endpoint returns 402 with preview data but full payload withheld
- Invalid or unrecognized slug — endpoint may return 404 or error if 'vercel' slug is not in the monitor catalog
- Stale data — sourceUpdatedAt may lag if upstream Vercel status page is slow to update
- Network timeout — Replit-hosted service may occasionally be unavailable
- USDC payment failure — if Base or Solana transaction is rejected, call does not complete

## 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: slug and name for Vercel, overallStatus (normalized health string), an array of components sorted fault-first, activeIncident object (or null), closedIncidentSummary if the most recent incident recently resolved, lastCheckedAt and sourceUpdatedAt timestamps, staleness metadata, and checkIntervalMinutes indicating poll frequency.
