## 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 datapipe-books-search-api-1064e9d4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for books about machine learning and give me 10 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to search for books by keyword, title, author, or subject matter and retrieve a list of matching book results. Prefer this over general web search when the user specifically wants book-oriented results from a structured book data source.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter returns error
- Invalid num type (non-numeric) may cause validation failure
- Empty query string may return no results
- Payment failure on Base chain blocks request
- Upstream book data source unavailable returns error or empty data
- Rate limiting may occur under high load

## How this service works

Multi-source data API for AI agents. Search, news, Reddit, translation, web scraping. Pay with x402 on Base chain.
