## 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 espn-mlb-scoreboard-9262302b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What MLB games are scheduled for today — show me the matchups, first-pitch times, and whether they've started yet?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, no-parameter snapshot of today's MLB games — matchups, start times, and status — sourced from ESPN's live scoreboard. Prefer this over general sports APIs when you specifically need MLB data in a simple JSON format without authentication or complex query parameters.

## Known failure modes

- No games scheduled on the current date returns an empty array
- ESPN upstream data unavailable returns a server error
- Malformed JSON response if ESPN feed is temporarily disrupted
