## 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 language-and-script-detection-74f7c7ff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What language and script is this text written in: 'Привет, как дела?'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, fast language and script identification from raw text, especially in agent pipelines that need to route, filter, or pre-process multilingual content before translation or localization steps. It is priced at $0.002 USDC per call, making it cost-effective for moderate-frequency use. Prefer it over a full NLP pipeline when you only need language/script metadata, not full linguistic analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing text input returns an error
- Very short text (single character or word) may yield low-confidence or ambiguous results
- Mixed-language text may return only the dominant language
- Rare or under-resourced languages may not be identified accurately
- Malformed request body without the required params.text field returns a validation error
