## 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-random-name-generator-cf9261ed -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate 10 fictional names with usernames and example.com emails I can use as fake test users in my staging database?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, realistic-looking fictional user data (names, usernames, email addresses) for test environments, demos, or UI prototypes — especially when you need up to 20 records per call and want built-in example.com emails that are guaranteed non-deliverable. Prefer it over manual placeholder data or more complex faker libraries when you need a pay-per-call, no-setup API solution.

## Known failure modes

- Count outside 1–20 range may produce an error or unexpected results
- Non-numeric or missing input may cause a bad request response
- Service unavailable if the Render.com instance is cold-starting or down
- Response may include culturally diverse name combinations that don't match a specific locale requirement

## How this service works

Random name generator: fictional names, usernames and example.com emails for test data. Input: how many, 1 to 20.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count field, a note clarifying the data is fictional and example.com addresses are reserved (non-deliverable), and a 'people' array where each element has a 'name' (full name), 'email' (firstname.lastname@example.com), and 'username' (lowercase with a numeric suffix).
