## 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-verse-of-the-day-d18b7ff3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the KJV Bible verse of the day for today? And also pull up the verse for December 25, 2024 so I can compare.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a consistent, reproducible daily Bible verse keyed to a UTC date — ideal for devotional apps, daily email digests, or any workflow where all users must see the same verse on the same day. Prefer this over third-party Bible APIs when you want zero external dependency at request time, guaranteed KJV text, and a curated set of well-known comfort/encouragement passages rather than random full-Bible rotation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format (non-YYYY-MM-DD) may return a 400 error
- Unsupported translation code (anything other than 'kjv') likely returns an error or defaults
- Payment not included or insufficient ($0.005 USDC required) results in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Deterministic daily Bible verse: every caller gets the same King James Version (KJV) verse on the same UTC date, drawn from a curated pool of ~375 well-known comfort and encouragement passages (Psalms, John, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Philippians and more). Served entirely from locally hosted public-domain scripture — no third-party dependency at request time. Optional date parameter looks up any day, past or future.

## Output

Returns the KJV Bible verse assigned to the requested UTC date (or today by default), including the verse text, its book/chapter/verse reference, the translation code, and the date. The same date always returns the same verse from a curated pool of ~375 well-known comfort and encouragement passages.
