## 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 gift-card-quote-api-bitrefill-via-api-borisinc-com-ecc9be79
```

Example prompt: I need to send my partner a gift for flowers — can you find me a gift card I can pay for with USDC right now and get the redemption code instantly?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user wants to purchase a digital gift card using USDC without needing an account or API key. It is ideal for crypto-native workflows, agent-driven gifting automation, or any scenario where instant digital delivery and stablecoin payment are required. Prefer it over traditional gift card APIs when the user has USDC on Base and wants pay-per-call access with no sign-up friction.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or unrecognized need description may return no options or irrelevant results
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network or provider downtime may result in empty options list
- Unsupported gift card category may return no matches
