## 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 bnm-data-shop-ferc-orders-0bf8a159
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest FERC civil penalty orders and consent agreements for me — I need the docket numbers, institution names, dates, and links to the source PDFs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable FERC civil penalty order data without scraping the FERC website yourself. It is ideal for compliance monitoring, legal research, due diligence workflows, or regulatory dashboards that need docket numbers, institution names, order text, and source URLs as JSON. Prefer it over manual web scraping or PACER lookups for quick, programmatic access to FERC enforcement records.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 if payment not included — endpoint requires $0.05 USDC per call via x402 protocol
- No records returned if FERC has not published new orders recently
- Stale data if fetchedAt timestamp is older than expected refresh cycle
- Network timeout if upstream FERC CMS is slow or unavailable

## How this service works

Official public data as JSON. Unpaid paid routes return HTTP 402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an array of FERC order cards and records, each containing a docket ID, order body text, date, institution name, source PDF URL, and a record count. Also includes a product identifier, fetch timestamp, and source page URL.
