## 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 artic-artist-detail-lookup-1b7169b8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up artist ID 36198 in the Art Institute of Chicago and tell me their full name, birth and death dates, and any alternate titles listed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific numeric Art Institute of Chicago artist ID and need to retrieve biographical metadata (name, dates, alternate titles) quickly without an API key. Prefer this over direct ARTIC API calls when operating in an x402 payment-gated agentic context or when you need a proxied, consistent interface. Not suitable for searching artists by name or browsing the collection.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent artist ID returns an error or empty record
- Numeric ID provided as string vs integer may cause input validation failure
- API unavailability from upstream ARTIC open-access API causes downstream failure
- Missing body fields (type, method, bodyType) result in schema validation errors
