## 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 mlb-stats-api-fly-dev-362ab442
```

Example prompt: What were the NFL scores on January 5, 2025? Pull up the full scoreboard for that day.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need NFL game scores or scoreboard data for a specific date or today. Ideal for checking game results, live scores, or historical scores on a particular day. Note the mismatch between the domain name (mlb-stats-api) and content (NFL data) — this API covers multiple sports leagues.

## Known failure modes

- Returns empty response during NFL offseason (no games scheduled)
- Invalid date format returns an error
- No games on a given date returns empty scoreboard
- Service unavailable on fly.dev infrastructure

## How this service works

NFL scoreboard for a given date. Optional: date (YYYY-MM-DD). Returns empty during offseason.
