## 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 forgemesh-daily-proverbs-api-70b425b0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's today's daily Proverbs reading? Give me the verse of the day and the full KJV chapter text for today's date.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a date-based, deterministic daily Proverbs reading from the KJV Bible — specifically the chapter-per-day-of-month pattern — with an optional full chapter text. Prefer this over generic Bible APIs when you need a simple, low-cost, reproducible scripture lookup keyed to the calendar day.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format returns a 400-level error
- Unsupported translation code (non-KJV) may return an error or default to KJV
- Network or server downtime results in connection failure
- Missing or malformed JSON body may cause a parsing error

## How this service works

The classic daily-Proverbs reading: the UTC day of the month selects the matching chapter of Proverbs (the 16th reads Proverbs 16 — the book has exactly 31 chapters), plus a highlighted verse of the day that rotates within the chapter across months. Optional include_chapter flag returns the full chapter text (KJV). Served from locally hosted public-domain scripture. Optional date parameter for any calendar day.

## Output

Returns the Proverbs chapter number corresponding to the UTC day of the month, a rotating highlighted verse of the day within that chapter, the verse text in KJV, and optionally the complete KJV text of all verses in the chapter if include_chapter is set to true.
