## 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 free-books-australia-8fd1f451
```

Example prompt: Can you show me a list of free public-domain ebooks about Australia from Project Gutenberg — maybe filter by ones with 'gold' in the title — and give me the download links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover and access free public-domain ebooks specifically about Australia — especially when you want pre-filtered, relevance-ranked results with direct download links, rather than manually searching Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive yourself. It is ideal for agents automating reading list creation, research tasks, or content curation around Australian topics.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query keywords don't match any titles or authors in the catalogue
- Stale or broken download links if a source (Project Gutenberg/Internet Archive) changes its URLs between daily re-verification cycles
- Empty result set for very narrow author+title combinations
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.01 per call fee
