## 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-5e67d240 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether my job on the402.ai has finished yet? The job ID is job_efb443fdf1fc48ce.

## 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 status or retrieve the result. It is specifically designed for async job tracking within the the402.ai ecosystem, not for generic task management outside that platform.

## Known failure modes

- Job ID not found — invalid or expired job reference returns a 404 or error response
- Payment failure — the $0.001 USDC x402 micropayment is not completed, blocking status retrieval
- Job still in progress — status returned is pending/running with no final result yet
- Malformed job ID — incorrectly formatted job identifier causes a validation error

## How this service works

Fetch the status, metadata, and results for a specific asynchronous job using its job ID.

## Output

Returns the current status of the specified job on the the402.ai platform, including completion state (e.g. pending, running, completed, failed) and potentially the job output or result payload once finished.

## Example request

```json
{
 "job_id": "job_efb443fdf1fc48ce"
}
```
