## 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 ishob-scholarly-document-metadata-abstract-lookup-a4f64efc
```

Example prompt: Pull up the full scholarly metadata, abstract, and license details for document ID doc_8f3a92b — I need the normalized author list, rights statement, and attribution fields.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need normalized, rights-verified bibliographic metadata and abstracts for a known open-licensed academic document and already have its document ID. It is the right choice for citation enrichment, license compliance checks, and literature review pipelines where structured metadata rather than full text is the goal. Prefer alternatives if you need the full structured text of the document (use the sibling full-text endpoint) or if you are searching for documents without a known ID.

## Known failure modes

- Document ID not found — returns 404 or error if the ID does not exist in the catalog
- Document is not open-licensed — endpoint only covers open-licensed documents, proprietary documents may be unavailable
- Malformed document ID — invalid format returns a validation error
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment not processed, request rejected
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short window returns 429

## How this service works

## Output
