## 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 federal-grant-opportunity-match-api-db3ae89b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search for federal grant opportunities that match our nonprofit focused on urban food security and community agriculture programs? We're looking for USDA or HHS grants we'd be eligible for.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to surface relevant federal grant opportunities for a specific organization, project, or research initiative. Prefer this over general web search when structured grant-matching with async processing and a tracked job result is needed. Best suited for nonprofits, researchers, startups, or government contractors seeking targeted federal funding discovery.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient project/organization description leads to poor or no matches
- Async job fails or times out — status field may reflect error state
- No matching grants found for highly niche or ineligible organizations
- Payment failure via x402 protocol before job is submitted
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns non-200 response
