## 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-ebooks-search-96e9e0cb
```

Example prompt: Can you find me a free downloadable copy of 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen — ideally with an epub or Kindle link I can grab right away?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find and link to free, legal, public-domain ebook downloads — especially classic literature, historical texts, or out-of-copyright works. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically need structured download links (epub, Kindle, HTML, plain text) with edition metadata like author dates, language, and subjects. Best for agents helping users load books onto e-readers or build reading lists from freely available titles.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for very obscure or niche titles
- Copyrighted books not in public domain will not appear
- Download links may point to large Internet Archive scans with slow external servers
- Ambiguous author or title queries may return irrelevant editions
- Language filter may reduce or eliminate results for rare languages

## How this service works

Free ebook finder: search public-domain books and get direct epub, Kindle, HTML and plain-text download links (Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive scans). Author dates, language and subjects included so an agent can pick the right edition. $0.01 per search.

## Output

A list of matching public-domain books with title, author, author dates, language, subjects, and direct download URLs in available formats (epub, Kindle/mobi, HTML, plain text). Sourced from Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive scans.
