## 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`):

Example prompt: What is the current time right now? Use the Gateway1 time service — it costs $0.01 USDC per request paid via x402 on Base.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, authoritative current time lookup via a permissionless, pay-per-use micropayment API on Base (x402 protocol), especially in agent workflows where no API key setup is desired and $0.01 USDC per call is acceptable. Prefer alternatives like free NTP or system time APIs if cost or payment infrastructure is a concern.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not made or x402 header missing — returns 402 Payment Required
- Insufficient USDC balance on Base — payment fails and request is rejected
- Cloudflare Worker downtime — service unavailable (503)
- Malformed request — may return 400 or unexpected error
