## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-cn402-com-b7dd3e10
```

Example prompt: Cast a random I Ching hexagram for me and show me the hexagram number, its Chinese and English name, the judgment, and the image text.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants a quick, casual I Ching reading or divination cast without specifying a particular hexagram — ideal for daily oracle draws, fortune-telling features, or randomized spiritual guidance apps. Prefer this over the full analysis endpoint when only the basic hexagram data is needed and cost efficiency matters.

## Known failure modes

- API returns 402 Payment Required if payment header is missing or insufficient
- Malformed response if the POST body is incorrectly structured
- Occasional service unavailability returns 5xx errors
- Lines array may be empty or null in edge cases
