## 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-run-6f6ad13e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full list of all active NBA players this season — I want to see each player's name, position, jersey number, and which team they're on?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, current-season list of all active NBA players with their roster details (name, position, jersey number, team). Ideal for building player lookup tables, powering autocomplete, filtering by team or position, or enriching other NBA data. Prefer this over web scraping or static datasets when freshness and accuracy for the current season matter.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable or 5xx error if fanfare.run is down
- Payment required (402) if x402 micropayment is not properly handled
- Empty or stale data if season roster has not yet been updated
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in rapid succession
