## 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-telegram-channel-api-6fb267fe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for the Telegram channel @cryptonewshub — I want to see its description, member count, and any other available metadata?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve Telegram channel metadata (description, member count, channel info) and are willing to pay per request in USDC on Base chain. Prefer this over building direct Telegram API integrations when you want a simple, hosted, pay-as-you-go wrapper.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Telegram channel identifier returns an error or empty result
- Private channels may not return full data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
- Malformed input object causes API to return an error
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the upstream Telegram data source
