## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability free-books-conduct-of-life-1a2a9849
```

Example prompt: Find me free public-domain books about conduct of life — maybe narrow it down to Marcus Aurelius or anything about stoicism — and give me the first page of results with download links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, frequently-refreshed catalogue of free public-domain books specifically tagged under the Library of Congress 'Conduct of life' subject, with ready-made download links, rather than scraping Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive directly. It is ideal for agents building reading lists, literature surveys, or content curation tools around ethics, self-improvement, and personal conduct themes.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if keyword filter is too restrictive or misspelled
- Stale results if the daily re-verification has not yet run
- Payment failure if $0.01 USDC is not provided via x402 protocol
- Rate limits or access errors if the upstream Gutenberg/Internet Archive sources are unavailable
- Empty page if requested page number exceeds available catalogue pages
