## 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 india-pincode-lookup-api-cd965414
```

Example prompt: What district and state does the Indian pincode 110001 belong to, and how many post offices are in that area?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve an Indian 6-digit postal pincode to its geographic location (state, district) and get post office count. Prefer this over manual lookup or general geocoding when you specifically need India postal data with per-call pay-as-you-go pricing via USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent pincode returns an error or empty result
- Malformed pincode (non-numeric, wrong length) may return a 400 or validation error
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base blocks the request
- Network timeout on the upstream pincode database
