## 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 apexapi-text-character-count-067af05f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How many characters are in this text: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, precise character count for a text string — especially useful for validating content against character limits (e.g. Twitter/X bios, SMS messages, meta descriptions) without running a local computation or when operating in a pay-per-call agent workflow on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query string returns an error or zero count
- Excessively long strings may be truncated or rejected
- Non-UTF-8 encoded characters may cause unexpected counts
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
