# x402 Rail Status

> x402 Rail Status is a paid API for AI agents from conclavex402.pythonanywhere.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Returns a multi-rail health snapshot across x402 payment infrastructure including facilitators, settlement indexes, and marketplace metrics, to inform routing and payment acceptance decisions.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://conclavex402.pythonanywhere.com/v1/rail-status?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-16
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/x402-rail-status-d6d848e1
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_G23ZGXf6JBiUkyAHfVe7Z

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 x402-rail-status-d6d848e1
```

Example prompt: Before I route this x402 payment, can you pull the current rail status to check if the facilitators, settlement index, and bazaar are all healthy and active?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a consolidated, multi-rail view of x402 payment infrastructure health before routing or accepting a payment. It is the right choice when you need to gate a workflow on x402 network liveness, want ecosystem-level metrics (bazaar volume, catalog size, settlement counts) in a single call, or are building an agent that must make routing decisions based on facilitator and settlement health. Prefer this over manual polling of individual x402 platform APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable on pythonanywhere.com hosting — returns 5xx error
- x402 payment not completed — returns 402 Payment Required if the $0.02 USDC fee is not paid
- Stale data if upstream rail sources are unresponsive — as_of timestamp may lag
- Rate limiting or host resource exhaustion on free-tier hosting

## How this service works

Call before routing or accepting an x402 payment: multi-rail health (facilitators, settlement, market) across x402 rails (JSON).

## Output

A JSON object timestamped with `as_of` containing per-platform health metrics: x402 bazaar 30-day USD paid and recipient counts, settled index live endpoint count and total tracked, payai catalog host and entry counts with 30-day settlement totals, and near market live agent and job delivery stats. Also includes a target_watch field with address and balance data.
