## 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 medapi-pubmed-article-lookup-c7a5b0db -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full details for PubMed article PMID 37845210 — I need the title, abstract, authors, and journal name.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific PubMed ID (PMID) and need to retrieve structured metadata for that article — title, abstract, authors, journal, and publication date — without scraping PubMed directly. Ideal for medical research agents that need to summarize or cite specific papers identified from search results or citations.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent PMID returns success: false with no data
- Network timeout to NCBI upstream causes failure
- Malformed PMID string (non-numeric) may return error
- Article retracted or not publicly indexed may return empty data
