## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-irctc-api-baf38ee0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check train availability and seat classes on the Rajdhani Express from New Delhi to Mumbai for next Friday, and tell me what the current fares look like?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to Indian Railways (IRCTC) data such as train schedules, seat availability, fares, or PNR status without building a direct IRCTC scraper. Suitable for travel apps, booking assistants, or agents helping users plan train journeys in India. Pay-per-request model via USDC on Base chain makes it accessible without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid train number or station code returns error in result object
- IRCTC upstream service unavailability causes empty or error response
- Invalid journey date or past date may return no results
- Payment failure in USDC results in 402 response before API is called
- Malformed input object returns validation error

## How this service works

400+ paid API endpoints. Social media, AI, crypto, finance, weather, ecommerce, tools. Pay per request with USDC on Base chain.

## Output

Returns IRCTC data including train schedules, seat availability across classes, fare details, PNR status, or route information depending on the query — wrapped in a result object.
