## 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-french-literature-catalogue-72e261e1
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up a list of free public-domain French literature books I can download? Maybe filter by Zola so I can grab some epub links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a ready-made, daily-verified catalogue of free French literature with download links, rather than scraping Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive directly. Ideal for agents building reading lists, recommending classic French texts, or surfacing epub/txt download links without custom web crawling.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if filter words match no titles or authors in catalogue
- Pagination beyond available pages returns empty result set
- Temporary unavailability if upstream Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive is unreachable
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient for $0.01 per call
