## 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 artefaktum-get-artifact-by-id-ce6829dd
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for artifact abc123 on Artefaktum — I need its title, tags, current status, and when it expires?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a known artifact_id and need full metadata (title, tags, description, status, expiry, latest version) for a specific artifact. Prefer this over the external_key lookup when you already have the system-assigned UUID. Choose this over listing endpoints when you need details for exactly one artifact rather than browsing a collection.

## Known failure modes

- Artifact ID not found — returns 404 or equivalent error
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not received or wallet has insufficient funds — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid artifact_id format — returns 400 Bad Request
- Artifact has expired and been purged — may return 404 or a status indicating expiry

## How this service works

Get one artifact: title, description, tags, metadata, status, expiry and latest version. Costs $0.005 in USDC. No signup: a wallet's first payment creates its account and a default project; the same wallet later reaches the same files.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the artifact's title, description, tags, metadata fields, current status (e.g. active or expired), expiry timestamp, and details about the latest stored version.
