## 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-wikipedia-lookup-api-67a6f0f1
```

Example prompt: What does Wikipedia say about 'quantum entanglement'? Pull the summary, URL, and description for me.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs a quick, authoritative factual summary or description of a well-known concept, person, place, or event sourced from Wikipedia. Prefer it over web scraping when a clean structured extract is needed without HTML parsing. Best for grounding agent responses in encyclopedic knowledge without requiring an API key or signup — pay-per-call with USDC via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Topic not found on Wikipedia — may return empty or null extract
- Ambiguous search term matches wrong article — returns unexpected article
- Wikipedia API rate limiting — upstream 429 errors
- Payment failure via x402 — 402 response if USDC payment not attached
- Malformed or URL-unsafe query argument — 400 or unexpected behavior

## 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 a JSON object containing the Wikipedia article URL, language code, title, a plain-text extract (introductory paragraph), a short description, the Wikibase item ID, and a thumbnail image URL (if available) for the queried topic.
