## 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 kihustle-german-umlaut-expander-410205dc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you expand all the German umlauts in this text to their ASCII equivalents — like ä to ae, ö to oe, ü to ue, and ß to ss: 'Müller öffnet die Tür zur Straße'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to convert German umlaut characters (ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü, ß) to their ASCII two-letter equivalents for use in URLs, filenames, legacy systems, or any context that cannot handle UTF-8 special characters. Prefer this over a generic transliteration or diacritic-removal tool when you need German-specific expansion (ae/oe/ue) rather than simple accent stripping.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error or no-op result
- Non-German or non-string input may produce unexpected output
- Very large text strings may be rejected or time out
- Network errors may return HTTP 402 if payment fails
- Ambiguous or mixed-encoding input may produce garbled output
