## 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 lookup-bustercall-workers-dev-3a6ece90 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up any FDA drug recalls for metformin and tell me the recall classifications and reasons listed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured FDA drug recall data programmatically, especially in an automated agent workflow that requires paying per-query. Prefer this over scraping FDA.gov directly when you need reliable JSON output. Best suited for drug safety checks, regulatory compliance lookups, or enriching pharmaceutical data pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- No recall records found for the queried drug — returns empty result set
- Invalid or malformed request body — returns 400 error
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- FDA upstream API unavailable — returns 503 or timeout
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429

## Output

A JSON response containing FDA drug recall records, including recalled product names, recalling firms, recall classifications (Class I, II, or III), recall reasons, initiation dates, and recall status.
