## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-the402-ai-0826b83a
```

Example prompt: Can you check the status of my the402.ai job with ID job_d9a59944e86347a2 and let me know if it's finished or still running?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have previously submitted an asynchronous job to the the402.ai marketplace and need to poll for its completion or retrieve its results. Ideal for agentic workflows that dispatch long-running tasks and need to check back. Not suitable for submitting new jobs or purchasing services — use the relevant purchase endpoints for that.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown job ID returns a 404 or error response
- Job ID belongs to a different account or lacks authorization — returns 401/403
- Payment of $0.001 USDC not provided or rejected via x402 protocol — request blocked
- Job has expired or been purged from the system — returns not found
- Malformed job ID format causes a validation error
