## 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 beggar-bot-lightning-channels-lookup-base-mainnet-b3c37d6d
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Lightning Network channels using Beggar Bot on Base mainnet? I want to see the channel data — go ahead and pay the $0.02 USDC fee to fetch it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need raw Lightning Network channel data accessible via a pay-per-call x402 micropayment model on Base mainnet. It is appropriate when you want programmatic, agent-driven access to LN channel topology without a subscription or API key, paying only $0.02 USDC per query. Prefer this over free alternatives when you need live, on-demand data with crypto-native payment settlement.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance on Base mainnet to cover $0.02 fee
- 402 Payment Required: x402 payment not included or malformed
- Invalid properties parameter: malformed query object returns error
- Network mismatch: specifying an unsupported network value returns an error
- Rate limiting or worker timeout on the Cloudflare Workers backend
