## 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-f7f42e35 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you expand all the umlauts in this German text — 'Müller fährt über die Straße' — so it uses ae, oe, ue, and ss instead of the special characters?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to expand German umlaut characters into their two-letter ASCII equivalents (ae, oe, ue, ss) for use cases like URL slugs, filenames, legacy system compatibility, or ASCII-only databases. Prefer this over client-side string replacement when you want a consistent, hosted normalization service without implementing the logic yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error or unchanged result
- Non-string input type may cause processing failure
- Very large strings may hit payload size limits
- Non-German text with no umlauts is returned unchanged (no error, but trivial output)
- Network timeout if service is unavailable
