## 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 explorer-gateway-api-bitcoin-cash-transaction-lookup-5f318bdd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Bitcoin Cash transaction with ID a3f4e2b1c9d... on the blockchain.com explorer and tell me its confirmation status and amounts transferred?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to look up a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) transaction by its transaction ID via the blockchain.com explorer gateway. Prefer this over generic block explorers when you need a paid, reliable, programmatic API access with x402 micropayment support. Choose the BCH-specific endpoint rather than the Solana, Bitcoin, or Ethereum siblings when the transaction is on the Bitcoin Cash network.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed txId returns an error response
- Transaction not found if txId does not exist on BCH chain
- Network timeout if blockchain node is unreachable
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- Payment failure if USDC payment via x402 is not properly submitted
