## 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-b874d636 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up statistics on climate change for me using Canon — I need verified factual data on the topic to check a claim I read.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve verified statistics or factual data on a specific topic for fact-checking, academic research, or claim verification, and is operating in a USDC-on-Base payment environment via x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' field returns a validation error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in 402 Payment Required
- Unrecognized or too-vague topic may return empty or low-confidence results
- Network timeout if the underlying research database is slow to respond
- 500 error if the statistics backend is unavailable
