## 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 novapath-internet-archive-bibliography-generator-4b46b708 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a markdown bibliography for these five Internet Archive items: 'goodytwoshoes00newyiala', 'scientific-american-1845', 'darwin-origin-1859', 'frankenstein1818shelley', and 'federalistpapers00madi' — I need the creators, publication years, stable IDs, and license status included?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, source-linked bibliography specifically from Internet Archive holdings, preserving creator attribution, publication years, and stable archive identifiers with provenance notes. It is ideal for academic, archival, or research workflows where citation integrity matters and output must be in Markdown or JSON. Prefer this over general citation tools when your sources are specifically on archive.org and you need machine-readable or formatted reference output without full-text reproduction.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Internet Archive identifier returns an error or empty record
- More than 5 identifiers submitted — request rejected due to maxItems constraint
- Malformed identifier strings (failing pattern validation) result in a 400-level error
- Internet Archive metadata unavailable for an item — provenance noted as unresolvable
- Format enum value not recognized — defaults or errors depending on implementation
