## 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 ddg-research-pack-dce6d666 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a research pack on the current state of solid-state battery commercialization — I want a compiled summary of key players, recent developments, and market outlook?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single bounded research artifact on a topic and want to pay per-call with USDC via x402 micropayment without committing to a subscription or managing raw provider API credentials. Best for AI agents that need lightweight, disposable research lookups at $0.01 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 handshake fails — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed POST body missing required fields — returns 400 Bad Request
- Topic or query out of scope for available research sources — may return empty or partial result
- Provider environment not live for certain payment rails (MPP/Stripe/Tempo) — fallback to x402 or direct crypto only
- Rate limiting or service unavailability — 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

A bounded JSON artifact (ok: true response envelope) containing compiled research results on the requested topic — curated findings, summaries, or structured data as determined by DDG's research pipeline, delivered in a single pay-per-call response.
