## 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 chinese-script-converter-simplified-traditional-by-lin-desk-483e75c9
```

Example prompt: Convert this Traditional Chinese text to Simplified Chinese for me: '香港的軟件開發' — use the t2s mode.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic, pay-per-call Chinese script conversion without signup or API keys. Ideal for AI agents that need to localize Chinese text between Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan variants programmatically, especially in low-volume or on-demand scenarios billed per call in USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'input' query parameter returns an error
- Text exceeding 100 KiB limit may be rejected
- Invalid 'mode' enum value (not one of s2t, t2s, s2hk, s2tw, hk2s, tw2s) returns an error
- Non-Chinese text passed as input may return unchanged or unexpected output
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base blocks the request

## How this service works

Pay-per-call API for AI agents: turn any public web page or PDF into clean, LLM-ready Markdown. $0.002 per call in USDC on Base via x402. No API key, no signup.

## Output

A JSON object containing the operation name ('op'), metadata with character counts in/out and elapsed milliseconds, and a 'result' field with the converted Chinese text string.
