```sh
zero fetch --capability free-films-1930s-6d937696
```

Example prompt: Can you find me free public-domain feature films from the 1930s about gangsters that I can legally download?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, daily-verified list of legally free 1930s films with full metadata (year, creator, rights status, download link) from Internet Archive, especially when you want to filter by keyword and get the most popular titles first. Prefer this over directly querying Internet Archive when you want pre-processed, structured results without building your own scraper.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if keyword filter is too narrow or misspelled
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.01 per page fee
- Empty result set if the queried combination of keywords yields no matching 1930s films
- Rate limiting or API unavailability on the intel.rallylive.ca server
