## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, step-by-step production process data for agricultural commodities or food products — especially when you need inputs, equipment, and quality requirements in a single call. Prefer this over generic web search when you need machine-readable, consistently structured production data for agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized commodity slug returns an error or empty result
- Very obscure or niche commodities may not be in the catalogue
- Async mode must be used for slow lookups to avoid client timeout; synchronous calls may time out
- Misspelled commodity names may fail to match any entry
