## 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-d02fb6e0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full list of every card set available for Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering from the TCG API so I can see all expansions by release date?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive catalog of all sets across multiple TCGs simultaneously — especially useful for building set pickers, populating dropdowns, or discovering which sets exist before fetching card-level data. Prefer this over the single-set detail endpoint when you need the full landscape rather than details on one known set.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid game filter returns empty results or 400 error
- Rate limiting if too many requests in quick succession
- Pagination errors if offset/limit parameters are malformed
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
