## 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 mike-digital-arbitrage-agent-text-compression-api-284aa8c0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compress this article text for me — 'The global economy showed signs of recovery in the third quarter, with manufacturing output rising sharply across Southeast Asia and consumer confidence reaching a three-year high in Europe' — and keep it under 80 characters?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, low-cost text compression or shortening operation with an optional character/token limit. Best suited for agents that need to reduce text size programmatically before passing content downstream. At $0.000001 USDC per call it is extremely cheap for high-volume use cases like log compression, caption shortening, or LLM context trimming.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns a 400 validation error
- Text too large may cause timeout or rejection
- 'limit' value set too low may result in over-truncation or an error
- ngrok tunnel may be offline or expired, returning a 502 or connection error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response blocking the call

## How this service works

ngrok is the fastest way to put anything on the internet with a single command.

## Output

Returns a compressed or shortened version of the submitted text. The response likely contains the reduced text string, with length constrained by the optional 'limit' parameter if provided.
