## 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-io-research-report-cee100a1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a deep research report on the long-term health effects of intermittent fasting — I need cited sources and I want the evidence graded so I know what's well-supported versus speculative?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cited, multi-source research report with explicit evidence grading — not just a quick web search snippet. It is particularly valuable when claims need cross-checking across multiple live web sources, when you need sourcing transparency (sourced / partial / unsupported), or when the question requires synthesis rather than a single lookup. Prefer it over simple search APIs when depth, credibility grading, and citation quality matter more than speed. Not ideal for real-time data (prices, live scores) or simple factual lookups where a faster API exists.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — run not initiated
- Invalid or missing 'input' field — 400 validation error
- Question too vague or empty string — may produce low-quality or unsupported output
- Report generation timeout — poll URL may return pending for longer than 10 minutes under load
- Live web sources unavailable for niche topics — may return mostly 'unsupported' evidence grades
- Rate limiting if many runs are submitted in quick succession from the same wallet

## How this service works

A cited, evidence-graded research report on any question: a swarm of agents searches the live web, reads the sources, cross-checks the claims, and grades its own evidence (sourced / partial / unsupported). Pay $1.05 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 research job: the immediate response includes a run ID and a poll URL to retrieve the completed report. The final report contains a structured, narrative answer to the input question, with inline citations linking to live web sources and per-claim evidence grades (sourced, partial, or unsupported). Typical completion is 3–10 minutes. An API key is also returned on first call for the paying wallet.
