## 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-3d3215cd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check the status of my the402.ai job with ID job_ded5d9a0d34c4431 and let me know if it's finished or still processing.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have already submitted a job to the the402.ai marketplace and need to poll for its completion or retrieve its result. Ideal for asynchronous workflows where a prior purchase or task submission returned a job ID that needs to be tracked to completion.

## Known failure modes

- Job ID not found — invalid or expired job identifier returns 404 or error state
- Job still queued — status returned as pending with no result yet
- Authentication or payment failure — x402 payment of 0.001 USDC rejected
- Rate limiting — too many status checks in short period
- Malformed job ID format causes bad request error

## How this service works

## Example request
