## 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-nba-scoreboard-via-clonecho-f38b5e7f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What NBA games are on today — show me the matchups, tip-off times, and whether any are currently in progress.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or daily NBA game listings including matchups, tip-off times, and live status without needing to supply any query parameters. Prefer this over general sports APIs when you specifically need NBA scoreboard data in a simple, no-parameter JSON call.

## Known failure modes

- No games scheduled returns empty list or minimal response
- ESPN upstream unavailability may cause stale or missing data
- Off-season periods may return empty game lists
- Payment failure (402) if USDC not provided or insufficient
