## 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-the402-ai-1b62e668 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether my the402.ai job with ID job_ea749ef16ac84cb5 has finished yet, and if so, what the result is?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint after initiating an asynchronous job on the the402.ai marketplace (e.g. after purchasing a service like Sentiment Analysis or DocQA) to poll for completion and retrieve results. Prefer this over re-triggering the purchase endpoint when you already have a job ID and need to check its progress or fetch output.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown job ID returns a 404 or error response
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
- Job ID belongs to a different account — returns unauthorized error
- Job has expired or been purged — returns not found
- Network timeout if the platform is under load

## How this service works

Fetch the status and output of a submitted asynchronous job by ID from The402.ai.

## Output

Returns the current status of the specified job (e.g. pending, running, completed, failed) along with any available result payload or error details from the the402.ai platform.

## Example request
