## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability free-books-scotland-d44f6e5f
```

Example prompt: Can you find me a list of free public-domain ebooks about Scotland — ideally popular ones I can download as epub or txt? Bonus if you can filter to books about Scottish history.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of free public-domain books specifically tagged with the 'Scotland' Library of Congress subject, with ready-to-use download links in multiple formats. Prefer it over a generic web search when you want structured bibliographic results from Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive without scraping, and when you need pagination to browse large result sets or filter by author or title keywords.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if filter keywords don't match any catalogued titles or authors
- Pagination out of range returns empty result set
- Occasional broken download links for Internet Archive scans that have moved or been removed
- Service may be unavailable if intel.rallylive.ca is down, returning a non-200 status
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.01 per call fee
