# ForgeMesh Principles JSON

> ForgeMesh Principles JSON is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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-principles-json-5655b3b8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the ForgeMesh principles as structured JSON — I need all three numbered principles plus the philosophy statement and closing line without having to scrape the HTML page.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs the ForgeMesh principles in structured JSON form without parsing HTML. Preferable over scraping the public forgemesh.io page when deterministic field access is required or when operating in an environment where HTML parsing is unavailable or unreliable.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC x402 payment before content is returned
- Network or gateway timeout resulting in no response
- Malformed POST body causing a 400 error
- Content schema changes on forgemesh.io causing stale or mismatched JSON output

## How this service works

The three numbered principles behind ForgeMesh, plus the surrounding philosophy statement and closing line, as structured JSON verbatim from forgemesh.io. The human page is free to read; this route returns the same content pre-parsed for agents that need it in JSON rather than scraped HTML.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing ForgeMesh's three numbered principles, the surrounding philosophy statement, and the closing line — identical in content to the human-readable forgemesh.io page but pre-parsed for agent consumption.
