## 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-friendship-juvenile-fiction-shelf-4741fdb8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you give me a list of 30 classic public-domain children's books about friendship — things like Rinkitink in Oz or other juvenile fiction — along with links to read the full text?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of public-domain juvenile fiction specifically themed around friendship — including well-known titles like the Oz series — and want drill-down routes for full-text retrieval without needing any API key or license. Prefer it over a full-text search endpoint when browsing by theme rather than searching for specific passages, and over general library APIs when you specifically want free public-domain content with no licensing concerns.

## Known failure modes

- Limit parameter exceeds 50 — server may return an error or cap results at 50
- Payment of $0.003 USDC not processed correctly via x402 — request blocked
- Network timeout if full ranked list generation is slow
- Empty result set unlikely given 469 books, but possible if catalog is temporarily unavailable
