## 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 library-forgemesh-io-england-periodicals-shelf-2915049a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me up to 30 public-domain English periodicals from the library.forgemesh.io collection, especially any Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine volumes.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to browse or list public-domain English periodicals — particularly Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine volumes from the mid-1800s. It is ideal for discovery and navigation of this curated shelf rather than full-text search (use the sibling full-text search endpoint for that). No API key is required, making it frictionless for agent use.

## Known failure modes

- Requesting limit above 50 may return an error or be capped at 50
- Network or payment processing failure resulting in no response
- Empty result if index is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed limit parameter (non-integer) causing a validation error
