## 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-statistics-endpoint-12159a8e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the statistics on climate change impacts on Arctic sea ice? I need hard numbers to fact-check a claim I read.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quantitative, statistical, or data-driven information about a specific topic for fact-checking or academic research purposes, and you want results backed by verified sources rather than generated text.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' field returns validation error
- Unrecognized or overly vague topic may return empty or low-confidence results
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base results in 402 Payment Required response
- Service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Topic string that is too long or malformed may be rejected
