## 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 grantpulse-state-grant-programs-api-e234d637
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up state grant programs available for environmental nonprofits in California, including agency links and the application calendar?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need state-level grant programs (as opposed to federal or foundation grants) and want results filtered by state, sector, and organization type in a single call. Prefer this over the federal grant search endpoint when the user is looking for state agency funding, or over the grant matching endpoint when the user wants to browse available programs rather than get personalized matches.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported state code returns empty results or 400 error
- Unsupported sector or org type combination returns no matching programs
- Missing required parameters (state) results in a 422 validation error
- Payment not processed correctly results in 402 Payment Required
- Stale grant data if underlying state agency databases have not been refreshed
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in rapid succession
