## 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 nerf-radar-patch-summary-5eee153f
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Nerf Radar breakdown for patch lol-26-20 — I want to see every buff and nerf with the before and after numbers.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable patch change data for a specific live-service game patch (League of Legends, VALORANT, CS2, or Deadlock) including categorized changes with before/after values. Prefer this over scraping official patch note pages when you need clean labeled data (buff/nerf/fix) without parsing unstructured HTML. Ideal for agents that need to answer player questions about recent balance changes, track meta shifts, or monitor game balance over time.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown patch ID returns a 404 or error response
- Patch ID format mismatch (e.g. wrong game prefix or version string) results in no data found
- Payment not processed correctly leads to 402 Payment Required
- Patch not yet indexed by Nerf Radar returns empty or null result
- Network timeout on slow upstream data retrieval

## How this service works

Nerf Radar: a structured summary of one official game patch (World of Warcraft: Forever (beta), World of Warcraft (Retail), Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, VALORANT, Deadlock and WARDOGS (early access)), with a TL;DR, who it matters to, and every change labeled buff, nerf, adjust, new, removed or fix, with before and after values and the official source URL.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing a TL;DR of the patch, a description of who the patch matters to, and a list of individual changes each tagged with a category (buff, nerf, adjust, new, removed, or fix), the specific entity affected, before and after values, and a link to the official source URL.
