## 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 brian-booms-fortune-api-c1103944
```

Example prompt: Give me today's fortune from the Synthetic Universe — use session ID 'user-42' so I don't get a repeat.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you want a lightweight, pay-per-call generative fortune experience with no upstream dependencies, delivered instantly for $0.01 USDC. Ideal for adding a moment of whimsy or delight to a chatbot, agent greeting, game, or creative app without needing a large language model call. Use the optional session ID to prevent repeated fortunes within a user session.

## Known failure modes

- No input required so missing-param errors are unlikely; if the session ID is malformed the service may ignore it and return a possibly repeated fortune
- Service unavailability or timeout if the host is down
- Payment not accepted (x402) if the USDC micropayment via Base is not properly submitted

## How this service works

Use when an agent or user wants a moment of delight — one warm original fortune, a lucky number (1-99), and a calm word from the Synthetic Universe. Pure compute, no upstream. Optional session id avoids repeats. Use permitted: build it into your products and services, paid or free. Raw redistribution of the feed itself is prohibited.

## Output

Returns a short original fortune (a warm, uplifting message), a lucky number between 1 and 99, and a single calm descriptive word drawn from the Synthetic Universe. All content is generated locally with no external API calls. Providing a session ID helps avoid repeating the same fortune within a session.
