## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability free-books-france-8bd5200e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up a list of free public-domain books about France from Project Gutenberg — maybe narrow it down to ones with 'revolution' in the title?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, relevance-ranked catalogue of free public-domain books specifically about France, complete with direct download links in multiple formats. Prefer it over raw Project Gutenberg search when you want pre-aggregated results across both Gutenberg and Internet Archive, or when you need filtering by author or title keyword within the France subject.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query keywords don't match any tagged titles or authors
- Pagination out of range returns empty result set
- Temporary upstream unavailability from Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive may reduce results
- Overly narrow keyword filters may yield zero matches
