## 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 gapup-content-provenance-rights-lookup-c9523735 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the content provenance and licensing rights for Elden Ring as a work using its catalog ID 'video-game-elden-ring'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured provenance, origin, or licensing rights data for a specific media work or franchise already indexed in the Gapup content catalog — especially when you have an entity_id from a prior content_catalog lookup. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable, structured rights metadata rather than free-text information.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown entity_id returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported entity_type value causes a validation error
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Async mode returns a job_id that must be polled separately; forgetting to poll leaves no result
- Malformed request body returns a 400 bad request

## How this service works

Content provenance and rights metadata lookup, returns origin, source and licensing data for a work

## Output

Returns origin details, original source attribution, and licensing/rights metadata for the requested media work or franchise entity, including timestamps and source references as available from the enriched media layer.
