## 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`):

zero fetch --capability datapipe-api-text-translation-c97ab7b2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text to French: 'The weather today is sunny and warm, perfect for a walk in the park.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a pay-per-call, no-subscription translation capability accessible via x402 micropayments on Base chain, especially when integrating with other DataPipe multi-source data tools (search, news, Reddit, scraping) in the same pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported language code returns an error or empty translation
- Missing 'lang' or 'text' field causes a 400-level validation error
- Very long text inputs may time out or be truncated
- Payment failure via x402 results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Ambiguous or malformed language codes may produce unexpected language output
