## 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 ciel-m2m-residential-ping-b9065d27 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you ping the target host using a residential IP connection and tell me if it's reachable?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to verify host reachability specifically from a residential IP address rather than a datacenter IP, which is important for testing geo-restrictions, bot detection evasion checks, or simulating real end-user connectivity. It is pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base) making it suitable for occasional spot-checks without a subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Target host unreachable or timed out — returns error status in result field
- Invalid or malformed input properties — API may return 400 or error JSON
- Payment not processed (x402) — 402 response requiring USDC payment on Base
- Server-side error on the CIEL platform — 500 response with no result data
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion — request rejected by RapidAPI subscription tier

## How this service works

50+ micro-services for AI agents: data parsing, crypto analytics, security scanning, code tools, and more. Pay per call via x402 (USDC on Base) or RapidAPI subscription.
