## 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-m-a-deal-lookup-by-id-28f6c533
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the M&A deal details for the Microsoft-Activision deal — I want to know the current status, stage, and whether it was a hostile takeover?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific M&A deal ID and need structured deal metadata including status, stage, acquirer/target identities, and hostile flag. Prefer this over general financial news APIs when you need machine-readable deal data rather than narrative articles. Best suited for building M&A trackers, due diligence pipelines, or alert systems that need to poll deal status programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown deal ID returns a not-found error
- Malformed ID format may result in a 400 bad request
- Deal data may be stale or incomplete for older or obscure deals
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if the endpoint is called too frequently

## 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

Returns a JSON object with the deal's unique ID, current status (e.g. pending, completed), stage, a hostile flag, and nested objects for both acquirer and target — each including company name, ticker symbol, and country of origin.
