## 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-csv-join-by-key-88e711bc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have two CSV tables I need joined on the 'id' column — the left table has id,name and the right has id,score — can you merge them together and give me the combined CSV?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call CSV join operation without setting up a database or data pipeline. It is ideal for agents that need to merge two small-to-medium CSV datasets on a shared key in real time, with cryptographic proof of processing and no data retention. Prefer it over general-purpose data tools when you need verifiable, privacy-respecting tabular merges billed in USDC micro-payments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or mismatched key column across left and right CSVs results in zero-row output
- Input exceeding 8192 character limit per field is rejected
- Malformed CSV (unbalanced quotes, inconsistent columns) may produce unexpected join results
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in 402 response before processing
- Key field name not present in one or both CSVs produces empty or partial output

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the merged CSV string, the row count of the result, the operation name, a status field ('pass'), and an evidence block confirming no data was retained and providing a SHA-256 hash of the input for verifiability.
