## 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 mbta-routes-by-type-15c5a095 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the subway routes (type 1) for the Boston MBTA so I can see which lines are available?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need Boston MBTA route listings filtered by transit mode — ideal for transit planning apps, trip routing, or any query about what routes exist within a given MBTA service type. Prefer this over generic transit APIs when the query is Boston/MBTA-specific.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing type parameter returns empty results or an error
- Type value outside 0-3 may return no routes
- Service may be unavailable if MBTA data source is down
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
