## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability free-short-stories-audiobooks-catalog-806ec06d
```

Example prompt: Can you find me free public-domain short story audiobooks from LibriVox — maybe search for something by Poe or Chekhov — and give me the mp3 download links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, daily-verified index of public-domain short story audiobooks specifically from LibriVox with direct download and streaming links. It is preferable over scraping LibriVox or archive.org directly because it provides structured JSON with runtime and multi-link data in a single call, supports keyword filtering by title or author, and is paginated at $0.01 per page of 20 results.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if search keywords match no titles or authors
- Pagination beyond available pages returns empty result set
- Occasional dead links if archive.org or LibriVox sources have moved (mitigated by daily re-verification)
- Rate or payment failure if x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC is not completed
