## 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 degov-agent-api-forum-topics-5f8c4fba
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest forum topics from the DeGov API for the Uniswap DAO so I can see what the community is discussing before the next governance vote.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable governance forum topic data for DAOs and want to integrate forum discussions into an agent workflow alongside proposals and votes. Prefer this over manual scraping of governance forums like Discourse or Commonwealth when you need normalized, programmatic access paid per-call via USDC or a partner token.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid API token or x402 payment header returns 402 Payment Required
- Unsupported filter properties return a 400 Bad Request or empty results
- DAO not found or no forum data available returns empty array
- Network or upstream data source outage returns 503 Service Unavailable
- Rate limiting or insufficient USDC balance causes request rejection

## How this service works

Machine-readable DAO governance data: DAOs, proposals, votes, voters, and governance forum topics. Paid endpoints settle per request via x402 (USDC on Base) or a partner token (`x-degov-api-token`).

## Output

Returns a JSON list of governance forum topics associated with DAOs, including topic titles, authors, discussion metadata, and links to on-chain or off-chain governance discussions. Enables agents to surface community sentiment and pre-proposal debates.
