## 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-egypt-b94a962d
```

Example prompt: Can you find me a list of free public-domain books about Egypt — maybe filter to ones about ancient Egyptian history — and give me the epub download links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-indexed, daily-verified catalogue of free public-domain books specifically on the subject of Egypt, with direct download links across multiple formats. Prefer this over general web search when you want structured bibliographic data (titles, authors, formats, download URLs) without scraping Gutenberg or Archive.org directly. It is especially useful for research, reading-list generation, or automated ebook delivery workflows where cost matters ($0.01 per 20-book page).

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- No books match the combined subject+title+author filters — empty result set returned
- Upstream Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive temporarily unavailable — stale or no results
- Invalid query parameters — may return unexpected results or an error
- Rate limiting if too many requests in quick succession
