## 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 meterly-ai-flash-api-1-pay-per-call-search-lookup-35af2ac5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for 'latest AI chip news' using Meterly.Ai's flash API and return up to 10 results — pay the $0.05 USDC fee from my Base wallet.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need one-off access to premium data or search APIs without committing to a subscription, and when you are operating as an AI agent with USDC on Base Mainnet available for micropayments. Ideal for sporadic lookups, research tasks, or automated agent workflows that benefit from pay-per-call pricing rather than monthly API plans.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol error, returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid query: missing required 'query' field returns 400 Bad Request
- Rate limit exceeded: upstream premium API throttling returns 429 Too Many Requests
- URL processing error: malformed or unreachable URL returns 422 or 500
- Unknown username: profile not found returns 404 Not Found
- Upstream API outage: underlying premium API unavailable returns 503 Service Unavailable
