## 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 ioswarm-grant-finder-5ffb050d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find grants and funders for a nonprofit focused on urban food security — I need a list of matching opportunities with deadlines and eligibility requirements.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an organization or individual needs a curated list of matching grants and funders for a specific need, including deadlines and requirements, and can wait 3–10 minutes for a researched asynchronous report. Prefer it over manual grant searches or generic web queries when structured, actionable grant intelligence with eligibility details is needed quickly and without a subscription or account setup.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient or vague input brief results in poor or irrelevant grant matches
- Payment of $1.15 USDC not confirmed — request rejected before processing
- Poll URL must be checked after 3–10 minutes; querying too early returns a pending status
- Niche or highly specialized funding needs may return few or no matches
- Grant database may not reflect the most recently announced or closed opportunities

## How this service works

Matching grants and funders for a stated organization and need, with deadlines and requirements. Pay $1.15 USDC per run; the response carries a run id and poll URL, the report lands in 3–10 minutes. No account needed — the paying wallet becomes the account and an API key is returned once.

## Output

An asynchronous report (delivered in 3–10 minutes via a poll URL) containing matched grants and funders relevant to the stated organization and need, including deadlines, eligibility requirements, and funder details. The initial response includes a run ID and a URL to poll for the completed report.
