## 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 biopulse-species-identifier-f5572408
```

Example prompt: I just saw a medium-sized brownish bird with a bright orange breast and a short dark beak hopping around in my backyard in Portland, Oregon — can you identify what species it is?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user has observed an unknown wildlife species in the field and wants to identify it from a verbal or text description combined with a geographic location. Ideal for naturalist agents, field biologists, birdwatchers, or eco-tourism apps where the user cannot provide a photo but can describe what they saw.

## Known failure modes

- Description too vague to narrow down to a single species — returns ambiguous or multiple candidates
- Location not recognized or unsupported — may fall back to description-only matching
- No matching species found for the given description and region
- API returns 402 Payment Required if USDC payment is not attached
- Timeout or server error if the backend inference service is unavailable

## How this service works

Species identification for naturalist and wildlife agents. Helps ID a wildlife sighting from a description and location.

## Output

Returns the most likely species identification based on the description and location, including the common name, scientific name, and potentially a confidence score or supporting details about the match.
