## 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 axon-language-detection-ece6c2cb
```

Example prompt: What language is this text written in: 'Bonjour, comment allez-vous aujourd'hui?'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, low-cost language identification of arbitrary text strings and are already operating within an x402 micropayment-enabled workflow. Well-suited for preprocessing text before translation, routing multilingual user input, or filtering content by language.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text parameter returns an error
- Very short or ambiguous text may result in low-confidence or incorrect detection
- Payment not included or rejected by x402 micropayment layer returns 402 Payment Required
- Unsupported or constructed language text may return unexpected results
- Malformed request returns 400 Bad Request
