## 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-3fe87c2d
```

Example prompt: Check the status of my the402 job with ID job_43b4b8deb7b84a43 — I want to know if it's completed and what the result is.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint after submitting a job to the the402.ai marketplace and needing to poll for its completion. Ideal for async workflows where a purchase or task was initiated (e.g. sentiment analysis, domain availability check) and the result is not immediately available. Use in polling loops or webhook-alternative patterns within AI agent pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Job ID not found — returns 404 or error if the job_id does not exist or has expired
- Payment failure — $0.001 USDC per call via x402 protocol; insufficient balance returns payment error
- Job still pending — returns status indicating job has not yet completed
- Internal server error — platform-side failure returns 5xx error
- Invalid job ID format — malformed or missing job_id field returns validation error
