## 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 gocreative-government-awards-lookup-631b8666
```

Example prompt: Look up government award details for contract number DTFA0119C00038 — I need to know the recipient, award amount, and issuing agency.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up a specific government contract or grant award by its identifier and want authoritative data sourced from official U.S. government records. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable award data including amounts, recipients, and agency details at $0.05 per call with no API key required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown award ID returns 404 or empty result
- Malformed input string causes 400 bad request
- Payment not received results in 402 Payment Required before data is returned
- Rate limits or upstream government data source unavailability may cause 503
- Award ID format mismatch (e.g. using grant format for contract endpoint) returns no results
