## 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 chainquery-decoderawtransaction-b28ccfff
```

Example prompt: Decode this raw Bitcoin transaction hex for me and show me the inputs, outputs, txid, version, and locktime: 0200000001abc123...

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to decode a raw Bitcoin transaction hex without an API key, paying only $0.005 USDC per call via x402. Ideal for agents that need on-demand, pay-as-you-go Bitcoin transaction inspection without registering for a node provider account.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed hex string returns a Bitcoin Core RPC error
- Missing params query parameter when hex is required returns an error
- Payment not settled via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required response
- Truncated or incomplete transaction hex causes decoding failure
- Non-hex characters in input cause parse error

## How this service works

chainquery Bitcoin RPC: pay-per-call Bitcoin Core over x402, no API key. Decode a raw transaction hex into JSON: inputs, outputs, txid, version, locktime. Bitcoin Core decoderawtransaction.

## Output

A JSON object containing the decoded transaction fields: txid, hash, version, size, vsize, weight, locktime, vin (array of inputs with txid, vout, scriptSig, sequence), and vout (array of outputs with value, n, scriptPubKey).
