Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need affordable pay-per-call access to Perplexity AI inference without managing your own Perplexity API credentials, especially for lightweight text estimation tasks within AI or side hustle automation workflows. Prefer it over direct Perplexity API calls when cost predictability at $0.002 per call matters and you want a simple POST interface.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns a validation error
- Perplexity API unavailability causes proxy timeout or failure response
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the call from being processed
- Rate limits on the underlying Perplexity API may cause intermittent failures
