## 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-csv-to-json-converter-05833f28 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this CSV text and convert it to JSON for me: "name,price\npen,1.5\nnotebook,4" — use the first row as headers and automatically convert numbers to proper JSON types.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call CSV-to-JSON conversion without setting up an account or managing credentials. Ideal for AI agents processing one-off data exports, trading data feeds, or pipeline preprocessing steps where the CSV is already in memory as a string and needs to be structured as typed JSON for downstream logic.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed CSV with inconsistent column counts may produce incomplete row objects
- Missing required 'csv' field returns an error
- Unsupported delimiter character not in the accepted set (, ; | tab) may cause incorrect parsing
- Very large CSV strings may time out or hit payload limits
- CSV with no header row combined with header=true produces numeric keys or unexpected behavior

## 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

Returns a JSON object containing: a 'rows' array of objects where each row is keyed by column headers with values typed as numbers, booleans, or strings; a 'columns' array listing all column names in order; and a 'row_count' integer indicating how many data rows were parsed.
