## 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 agentutility-movie-info-2e81dbcb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the movie info for Inception — I need the release year, rating, overview, and which streaming platforms it's available on?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs quick, structured movie or TV show metadata (rating, year, overview, poster, streaming links) in a single call with USDC micropayment via x402. Prefer over raw TMDB API calls when you want a pre-packaged, agent-friendly response with a compact search slug and no API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Title not found in TMDB — returns empty or error response
- Ambiguous title matches multiple results — may return wrong entry without additional disambiguation
- Streaming provider data unavailable for certain regions or titles
- Network timeout or service unavailability
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — call not executed

## How this service works

Looks up movie and TV metadata: title, release year, rating, overview, poster, and optional streaming providers. Same TMDB-backed response as movie-database with a compact search slug for agents. Use it as a movie info API, film metadata lookup, or TV metadata lookup.

## Output

Returns structured movie or TV metadata including title, release year, audience rating, plot overview, poster image URL, and optionally a list of streaming providers where the title is available — all sourced from TMDB with a compact search slug optimized for agent use.
