Given any public HTTP(S) URL, returns a measured liveness verdict
Given any public HTTP(S) URL, returns a measured liveness verdict - LIVE, PAUSED, GATED, CHALLENGED, DEGRADED, DEAD or UNKNOWN - with every reason carrying the source it was read from. The point is the case a status check misses: a front door answering 200 over a back end that stopped. Also sold at this origin: good ($149.00, POST /x402/good) - The x402 rail, ninety days - framed print, 24 x 36 in; census ($100.00, GET /x402/census) - The x402 rail census, ninety days, whole.
Paid test badge: not yet. The checks above are free: we call the tool without paying and read the payment request it sends back. The Verified badge needs paid calls whose answers match the promised output, and nobody can buy a badge.
