## 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 minerva-email-validation-api-335a1b48 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you validate the email address john.smith@example.com and tell me if it's real and deliverable, and what consumer identity or enrichment data Minerva has associated with it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need both email deliverability validation AND identity enrichment/resolution in a single call, especially when consumer behavior intelligence is needed alongside basic email checks. Prefer over standalone email verification services when downstream personalization or fraud detection requires person-level enrichment data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed email address input returns a validation error
- Email not found in Minerva's database returns empty enrichment data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns a 429 error
- Network timeout if Minerva's resolution service is slow

## How this service works

Pay-per-request access to Minerva identity resolution, enrichment, email validation, and person search. AI that understands consumer behavior.

## Output

A JSON response containing the email validity status, deliverability assessment, and any associated identity resolution or consumer enrichment data Minerva has on the email owner, such as behavioral signals and person profile attributes.
