Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability eu-open-data-portal-dataset-search-2f718daa -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Search the EU open data portal for datasets related to elections — I want to see what official European datasets are available on that topic.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover official, government-published datasets from EU institutions via the data.europa.eu catalog. Prefer this over generic web search when you specifically want structured open data from European Union sources, or when building data pipelines that require authoritative EU statistics or government records.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if search query matches no datasets in the EU catalog
- Upstream data.europa.eu API unavailability causing timeout or error
- Malformed or missing query parameter returning unexpected results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returning 402 error
