## 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 mangadex-scanlation-group-search-f027e0fe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find MangaDex scanlation groups matching the name 'Luminosity'? I want to see their descriptions to figure out if they're the group that translated the manga I've been reading.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search for scanlation groups on MangaDex by name — for example, to identify who translated a manga, find contact info for a fan group, or verify the identity of a scan team. Prefer this over scraping MangaDex directly.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no group matches the query string
- Payment required (402) if USDC payment header is not included
- Malformed or missing query parameter returns an error or empty result
- Service unavailable if MangaDex API is down upstream
