## 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 actionlayer-via-zeroclick-web-task-execution-2f67399d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Go to OpenTable and book a table for 2 at a cozy Italian restaurant in the Mission District this Saturday at 7pm — my email is alex@example.com, and I want you to handle the whole thing end to end.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an AI agent to autonomously complete a multi-step real-world web task — such as filling forms, making reservations, or navigating websites — that cannot be accomplished through a direct API. It is best when the task requires navigating a live browser session on behalf of a user. Prefer this over screen-scraping or headless browser tools when you want a managed, pay-per-task service with built-in identity and payment handling.

## Known failure modes

- Task fails if the target website is unreachable or has changed its layout
- Natural-language task description is ambiguous and the agent cannot resolve intent
- End user does not approve an in-task purchase, causing the task to halt
- Payment of $1.50 USDC per task fails due to insufficient wallet balance
- Polling timeout if the task takes longer than expected to complete
- Task is rejected if the end user email is missing or malformed

## How this service works

Accepts a task for asynchronous execution and returns the task object — poll `GET /zeroclick/tasks/{id}` for progress. Retried requests with the same `zc-request-id` return the original task and are never charged twice.

## Output

A task ID returned immediately upon submission, which the agent polls against the API until the task reaches a completed or failed state. On completion, the result includes the outcome of the web task (e.g. confirmation number, success message, or error details). Purchases within the task require explicit end-user wallet approval and are not covered by the per-task fee.
