## 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-open-library-lookup-7462ff44
```

Example prompt: Look up the Open Library record for 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald and give me the publication details, ISBN, and edition info.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need bibliographic metadata for a book, author, or publication and want a pay-per-call approach without API keys or signup. Prefer this over direct Open Library API calls when operating in an x402 micropayment context or via MCP. Best for single-record lookups by title, ISBN, or author name.

## Known failure modes

- No matching record found for the query string — returns empty or 404-equivalent response
- Ambiguous query matches multiple records — may return first result or list
- Misspelled title or author yields no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 prevents the call
- Open Library upstream is unavailable — returns error

## How this service works

Keyless, pay-per-call compliance & regulated-data API for AI agents — OFAC wallet + sanctions/PEP + KYB screening, SEC filings, FRED economics, FDA recalls, federal awards, plus continuous monitoring. USDC on Base/Solana via x402, native MCP. No API key, no signup.

## Output

Returns bibliographic metadata for the matched book or publication from Open Library, including title, author(s), publication date, ISBN(s), edition information, and Open Library identifiers.
