## 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-date-format-api-dd874d30 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you format the date 2026-08-04T12:00:00Z into a clean, readable string for me using the Delx date-format API?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-use date formatting utility with no signup or API key management, especially inside agent pipelines that already use USDC micropayments via x402. It is ideal for one-off or low-volume date conversion tasks where setting up a full datetime library is unnecessary overhead, and where you want verifiable, consistent output with an explicit format descriptor returned alongside the result.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed ISO-8601 input returns an error response
- Missing 'date' field in request body causes a validation error
- Date strings outside supported ranges may return unexpected results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before processing

## 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 a 'text' field with the formatted date string (e.g. '2026-08-04 12:00:00'), a 'format' field with the Python-style format pattern used (e.g. '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), and a 'schema' field identifying the response schema version ('delx/date-format/v1').
