## 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-6fe04808 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the stats for the Telegram channel @durov — I want to know the subscriber count, description, and any other available metadata?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use access to Telegram channel metadata without setting up your own Telegram Bot API integration. Best for agents that occasionally need channel data without maintaining persistent credentials or infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Channel not found or private — returns error in result object
- Invalid or malformed channel identifier — API returns error response
- Payment failure — USDC payment on Base chain not accepted or insufficient
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short period
- Channel has been deleted or banned — lookup returns empty or error
