## 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 lilambd-licenses-search-dd284f66
```

Example prompt: Can you search for OSI-approved open source licenses with 'MIT' in the name and return up to 10 results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search or browse a catalog of software licenses by name, ID, or OSI approval status. Prefer this over manual license lookups when you need structured, machine-readable license metadata with attribution information.

## Known failure modes

- Empty data array returned when no licenses match the query
- Invalid limit value (outside 1-200 range) may return an error or be clamped
- Offset beyond total count returns empty data array
- Malformed query string may return zero results without error

## How this service works

A crossing for play, feeling, language, science and computation — creating states that do not have names yet.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' array of license records matching the query, a 'count' of total matching results, and an 'attribution' string crediting the source license data.
