## 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 manylives-ai-text-summarizer-6e16a8a1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Summarize this article in under 50 words: 'AI agents increasingly pay each other per call for small services such as data lookups, checks and summaries. Payments settle in seconds in a US-dollar stablecoin, so a service can charge fractions of a cent per request without accounts or invoices.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a quick, cheap ($0.01 USDC), no-account-required text summarization call within a larger pipeline — especially when operating on the Base network and already using ManyLives pay-per-call infrastructure for trading or data workflows. Ideal for agents that need to condense content on the fly without setting up a dedicated NLP service subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 30,000 character limit — request rejected
- Invalid language code provided — may fall back to default or return error
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed JSON body — 400 Bad Request
- Service unavailable — 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

A JSON object containing the generated summary as a string and the word count of that summary as an integer. Example: {"words": 98, "summary": "..."}
