## 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 canon-batch-fact-checking-academic-research-52d97146 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fact-check these three claims for me using Canon: '1) The Earth's average surface temperature has risen 1.1°C since pre-industrial times, 2) Ivermectin is effective against COVID-19, and 3) Humans only use 10% of their brains'? I need academic sources to back up or refute each one.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to verify multiple factual claims in a single API call rather than one at a time, especially when you want academic or peer-reviewed sourcing. Ideal for AI agents that need to fact-check paragraphs, articles, or research documents in bulk. Prefer this over general web-search endpoints when scholarly validation is required.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or malformed claims array returns a 400-level error
- Claims array exceeds maximum batch size limit
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment causes 402 Payment Required
- No academic sources found for highly niche or obscure claims
- Timeout if the batch contains too many claims
- Network errors from the underlying aury.orbonomy.xyz host
