## 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-normalizer-1426a2ef -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you normalize the German umlauts in this text so it only uses standard ASCII characters: 'Müller ist für Köln zuständig und heißt Strauß'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to normalize German umlaut characters (ä, ö, ü, ß and their uppercase forms) to ASCII equivalents. It is ideal for preprocessing German-language text for legacy systems, URL slug generation, search indexing, or any pipeline that requires ASCII-only output. Prefer this over general-purpose transliteration or full Unicode normalization libraries when you need a lightweight, paid microservice with minimal setup and predictable German-specific output.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error or empty result
- Non-string input may cause a 400 validation error
- Extremely long strings may be truncated or time out
- Non-German special characters (e.g. French accents, Chinese) are likely passed through unchanged or may cause unexpected behavior
