## 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-6ad91903
```

Example prompt: What's the current score, quarter, and game clock for NFL game event 401671816 — also pull the full box score?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live or near-real-time NFL game data for a specific game, including score, quarter, game clock, and box score. Best used after obtaining the event_id from an NFL schedule or scoreboard endpoint. Prefer this over general sports data APIs when you specifically need box score detail alongside live clock and quarter information for NFL games.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent event_id returns a 404 or error response
- Game not yet started may return empty or null score/clock fields
- Event ID from a different sport (e.g. NBA) will return no data or an error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

NFL game detail with score, current quarter, game clock, and box score. Use event_id from the schedule or scoreboard endpoint.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the live NFL game score for both teams, the current quarter, game clock time remaining, and a full box score breakdown — all keyed to the ESPN event ID provided.
