## 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-trivia-questions-api-c2a5bcd4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch me 5 trivia questions with multiple-choice answers and their correct answers from the Open Trivia Database?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need ready-made trivia questions with multiple-choice options and correct answers sourced from the well-known Open Trivia Database. It is ideal for quiz apps, game night tools, chatbots, or educational agents that need structured trivia content without building or maintaining a question bank. Prefer this over general LLM-generated trivia when you want attributable, community-vetted questions with categorical diversity.

## Known failure modes

- Count out of range (not 1–10) may result in an error or unexpected behavior
- Open Trivia Database upstream unavailability causing fetch failure
- Invalid or non-numeric input for count field
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402 micropayment not accepted)
