## 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 findmydirectdoctor-guide-index-api-5ebc4724
```

Example prompt: Can you show me all the FindMyDirectDoctor Foundation guides about direct primary care — list their titles, summaries, and whether they include actual price figures?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or browse the full catalog of FindMyDirectDoctor Foundation health-cost guides, filter by category (e.g. dental, dpc, medication, state), or search by keyword before fetching detailed guide content. Prefer this over sibling endpoints when you want metadata about guides (titles, summaries, paid routes) rather than the actual guide content or Q&A answers.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid group value returns empty results or error
- Cursor mismatch (changed query parameters with old cursor) may return unexpected results
- Keyword query with no matches returns empty guides array with total_matches: 0
- Limit exceeding 50 may be clamped or rejected
- Network/payment failure returns HTTP 402 or 5xx

## How this service works

Catalog of the 246 Foundation guides on paying for health care without insurance, with title, one-line summary, group, review date, whether it has price figures and the paid route and topic value that serves it. Browse by group or keyword with paging. Covers cost, medicine, dental, bills, coverage change, direct primary care and all 50 states plus DC.

## Output

A JSON object with total match count, a paginated array of guide records (slug, title, URL, group, summary, last reviewed date, has_price_points flag, paid_routes), a next_cursor for paging, group counts, data_as_of date, source credit, and a disclaimer.
