## 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 gloom-finance-catalyst-lookup-0378071b
```

Example prompt: Pull up the catalyst details for ID NDA020766-SUPPL-22 from Gloom — I want to know the agency, approval status, jurisdiction, and when it was announced.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a specific catalyst ID and need structured details about a single regulatory or market event (e.g. FDA approval, NDA filing). Prefer this over news search or filing APIs when you already know the catalyst identifier and need machine-readable structured data including status, jurisdiction, and announced date for downstream analysis or alerting workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent catalyst ID returns an error or empty data
- Malformed ID format may cause a 400 Bad Request
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx errors
- Catalyst ID resolves but has incomplete metadata fields

## How this service works

Gloom is a free, open-source finance terminal for desktop and TUI with charts, news, filings, portfolios, alerts, and plugins.

## Output

A JSON object containing detailed information about the requested catalyst event, including its type (e.g. 'approval'), the issuing agency (e.g. 'FDA'), the data source, approval status, country, a plain-language summary, revision number, external reference ID, jurisdiction, and the announced date.
