## 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 deepgram-text-analysis-read-api-c6c57bcc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you analyze this customer feedback text and tell me the sentiment, main topics, and any detected intents: 'The onboarding was smooth but billing support took forever and I almost canceled'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured NLP analysis of text content — such as sentiment, intent, topic detection, or summarization — leveraging Deepgram's language intelligence model. It is distinct from Deepgram's audio transcription endpoints and should be used when the input is already in text form (not audio or video). Prefer it over generic LLM prompting when you need consistent, schema-structured NLP output billed per-call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' or 'url' field returns a 400 validation error
- Unreachable or malformed URL results in a fetch error
- Unsupported body type or method combination returns a 422 error
- Text too long or exceeding limits may return a 413 or quota error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Temporary Deepgram service unavailability returns a 503 error
