## 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 foundry-pypi-package-info-4744c759 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the latest version of the requests library on PyPI, what license does it use, and how many downloads did it get last week?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured PyPI metadata — version, license, download stats, and Python compatibility — for a single package without scraping PyPI directly or parsing RSS feeds. Prefer it over web search when you need machine-readable fields like download counts or SPDX license identifiers for automation, compliance checks, or dependency audits.

## Known failure modes

- Package name not found on PyPI — returns an error or empty result
- Typo in package name yields no match
- PyPI API unavailable or rate-limited — upstream failure
- Private or unlisted packages return no data
- Package exists but has no license or Python requirement metadata — fields may be null
