## 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 fanfare-api-fly-dev-4603709c
```

Example prompt: What's happening right now in NHL game 2024020512 — can you pull up the live play-by-play and current score?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, play-by-play NHL game data for a specific game. Ideal for live game tracking, score monitoring, or building game-day experiences. Best when you already have the NHL game ID from a schedule or scoreboard endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent game_id returns a 404 or error response
- Game not yet started may return empty or pre-game state
- Network latency on fly.dev infrastructure could cause timeouts
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Live NHL game feed — period, clock, play-by-play, and real-time scoring. Use game_id from the schedule endpoint.

## Output

Returns a live game feed for the specified NHL game including play-by-play events, current score, period, game clock, team lineups, and other real-time game state information.
