## 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 long-events-electronic-music-api-ffe2190f
```

Example prompt: Show me upcoming electronic music events this weekend — list the artists playing, their verified Spotify IDs, and the closest ticket purchase link for each event.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, cross-provider-verified electronic music event and artist data including Spotify IDs, MusicBrainz IDs, and resolved ticket URLs. It is purpose-built for the global electronic/rave/techno/club scene and supports a rich action vocabulary (now-playing, spotlight, schedule, catalog stats) that generic event APIs lack.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported action method returns an error response
- Missing required query parameters (type or method) causes a 400-level error
- Artist not found in catalog returns empty or null result
- Payment not completed (x402 protocol) results in 402 Payment Required before data is returned
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns an error

## How this service works

LONG Events events API: global electronic-music event discovery with structured artists. Actions: discover, list, stats, catalog_stats, spotlight_candidates, get_sets, get_now_playing, get_schedule, search_artists, get_artist, get_artist_events, list_artists. Artist-action identity objects include nullable mbid and verified spotify_id; artist event payloads include the resolved closest-to-purchase ticket_url.

## Output

Returns structured JSON containing electronic music events (with dates, venues, lineups), artist objects (with nullable mbid and cross-provider-verified spotify_id), schedules, now-playing sets, ticket URLs resolved to the closest purchase point, and catalog/spotlight statistics depending on the action method invoked.
