## 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 api-tcgapi-dev-a0f7f40d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the current TCGPlayer market, low, and high prices for all 250 cards on my list — they're a mix of Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering cards — so I can figure out which ones are worth selling right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need prices for many cards at once (up to 500) and want to minimize API calls and cost. Prefer over single-card lookups when doing collection valuations, inventory scans, set price analyses, or arbitrage checks across large card pools. Choose this over the price history endpoint when only current prices are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Requesting more than 500 cards returns a 400 error
- Invalid or unrecognized card IDs return null prices or are omitted
- Cards not listed on TCGPlayer return no price data
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many concurrent requests
- Partial results if some card IDs are invalid
