## 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 netzhandwerker-energy-research-hub-033a6718 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest electricity prices, carbon intensity, renewable share, and battery arbitrage signals from Netzhandwerker for the German grid right now so I can decide when to charge my home battery.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, real-time bundle of energy market signals — prices, carbon, renewables, arbitrage, and ESG — in a single call rather than assembling data from multiple specialist APIs. Ideal for autonomous agents managing battery storage, executing energy trades, optimizing demand response, or generating sustainability reports.
