## 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 arabic-language-detection-bf08e807 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether this text is written in Arabic and tell me how confident you are: 'مرحباً بالعالم'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap per-call Arabic language detection with script-level detail (arabic vs latin vs other character counts) and no account or API key setup. Prefer it over general-purpose language detection APIs when Arabic-specific accuracy and micropayment economics (pay-per-call in USDC) suit your workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace-only text may return low confidence or ambiguous results
- Very short strings (1-2 characters) may produce unreliable confidence scores
- Text that is purely numeric or punctuation may not detect Arabic
- Payment challenge (HTTP 402) returned on first call if client has not yet paid via x402

## How this service works

Nine micro-capabilities for Arabic-language work, sold per call over x402 in USDC on Base. No API key, no account, no subscription for the buyer: the first request returns a 402 payment challenge, the client pays it and retries. Text utilities are pure computation and cost nothing to serve.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the detected language code (e.g. 'ar'), a confidence score between 0 and 1, and a script_mix object showing character counts for arabic, latin, and other scripts, plus the endpoint name and cost in USD.
