## 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 dataforagents-steam-game-insights-e603b1f6
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Steam insights for Terraria — I want to know the current price, review score, genres, and what platforms it supports? The Steam app ID is 105600.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need rich, structured Steam game metadata in a single pay-per-use call without managing API keys or accounts. Ideal for agents that need pricing, review scores, platform support, or genre data for one or several Steam games on demand. Prefer over scraping Steam pages or using the raw Steam Web API when you want clean, pre-processed JSON and are comfortable with micro-payment-based access via x402/USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Steam app ID returns an error or empty data
- Payment not processed via x402/USDC results in 402 response before data is returned
- Rate limiting or upstream Steam API unavailability may cause failures
- Passing a non-numeric or malformed appid string causes a validation error

## How this service works

Pay-per-request datasets for autonomous agents via x402 (USDC). Structured JSON APIs; no API keys — pay on the wire.

## Output

Status field confirms success.
