## 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 metropolitan-museum-of-art-object-detail-lookup-eb759bc0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for Met museum object ID 45734 — I need the title, artist, date, medium, and image URL?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured metadata for a specific Met museum artwork by its numeric object ID and want a keyless, pay-per-call access pattern without managing Met API credentials. Ideal for AI agents that need artwork details on demand without rate-limit concerns tied to API key quotas.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent object ID returns an error or empty result
- Object exists but has no image (restricted or rights-managed works return null image URL)
- Met API upstream downtime causes a degraded or failed response
- Payment of 0.002 USDC per call not fulfilled results in 402 rejection
