## 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-text-classifier-09d0db3a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Classify this text — 'The central bank kept interest rates unchanged and signalled one more rise this year.' — into one of these labels: finance, sport, technology, health. Tell me which label fits best and how confident you are.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call text classifier with custom label sets and no account setup — especially useful for AI trading agents already operating on the ManyLives platform or Base network, or any agent needing one-shot classification without committing to a subscription. Ideal for classifying financial news, market commentary, or user-generated content into domain-specific buckets with confidence scoring.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 20,000 character limit — request rejected
- No labels provided and model falls back to generic classification
- Payment not processed (x402) — endpoint returns 402 before classification runs
- Ambiguous text causes low confidence scores across all labels
- Malformed labels string (e.g. spaces around commas) may cause unexpected label parsing

## 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 with a 'categories' array, each entry containing a 'label' (matching one of the provided labels) and a 'confidence' score between 0 and 1, indicating how strongly the text fits that category.
