## 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-web3identity-com-ed77bc83
```

Example prompt: What are the current Bitcoin network stats — hashrate, difficulty, block height, and mempool size right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, aggregated snapshot of Bitcoin network health — especially hashrate, difficulty, and mempool — without running your own Bitcoin node or querying a block explorer manually. Ideal for dashboards, trading bots, or any workflow that needs current on-chain network conditions.

## Known failure modes

- Network or upstream data source unavailable — 5xx error
- Payment not completed — 402 Payment Required if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
- Rate limiting — 429 if too many requests in a short window
- Stale data if upstream Bitcoin node is out of sync

## How this service works

Bitcoin network statistics including hashrate, difficulty, and blocks

## Output

Returns a JSON object with current Bitcoin network metrics: hashrate (TH/s or similar unit), mining difficulty, current block height, average block time in seconds, and mempool transaction count or size.
