## 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 delx-commerce-basename-extractor-api-5a710879 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the basename of the path '/usr/local/share/docs/readme.txt'? Just give me the final filename segment.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call basename extraction with no signup, no API key management, and verifiable delivery via x402 micropayments on Base or Solana. Ideal for AI agents that need to process paths on-demand at $0.001 USDC per call without committing to a subscription. Prefer alternatives if you need bulk batch processing or if you already have a local string utility available.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'path' input returns {empty: true, basename: ''}
- Malformed JSON request body returns a 4xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
- Path with only directory separators may return empty basename
- Network timeout if upstream service is unavailable

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output
