## 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-61c1417e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Use the402 Data Extractor service (ID svc_0efc43dac3354073) to kick off a data extraction job for me — I need to pull structured information out of this content.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to asynchronously extract structured data from a document, URL, or unstructured content via the402.ai's paid AI service infrastructure, and you already have the service ID. Prefer it over synchronous alternatives when processing large or complex content that requires background job handling.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'id' field returns a 400 validation error
- Service ID not found returns a 404
- Insufficient funds or payment failure returns a 402
- Job initiation failure returns a 500 with no job_id
- Rate limiting may return a 429 if too many requests are made
