## 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 datamuse-means-like-word-lookup-5ea6a771 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you find me a list of words that have a similar meaning to 'happy'? I'm looking for synonyms and semantically related terms I could use instead.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need semantically similar words or thesaurus-style results for a given word or phrase — ideal for vocabulary enrichment, content variation, NLP tasks, or finding synonyms. Prefer this over a general search engine when you specifically want lexically related terms with similarity scores in structured JSON format.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'word' parameter returns an error or empty result
- Rare or misspelled query words may return few or no results
- Very abstract or ambiguous phrases may yield unexpected or sparse matches
- API rate limits or payment failures (x402) may result in 402 or 429 errors
