## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability gocreative-research-institutions-lookup-e798da0a
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the research institution profile for MIT using GoCreative's research institutions API and give me whatever official data they have on it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, official data on a specific research institution (university, lab, government research body) by identifier, especially when no API key or signup is required and pay-per-call USDC pricing via x402 is acceptable. Prefer over scraping or general web search when structured, official-source data is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Institution identifier not found — returns 404 or empty result
- Invalid or malformed identifier — returns 400 error
- Payment not processed (x402 flow incomplete) — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit or upstream data source unavailable — returns 5xx error
- Ambiguous identifier matches multiple institutions — may return partial or unexpected result

## Output
