## 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 number-words-year-in-english-words-61d60678
```

Example prompt: How do you say the year 1984 in English — give me both the usual pair reading like 'nineteen eighty-four' and the full cardinal form, using the UK style with 'and'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need a year rendered as spoken English words in either the colloquial pair form ('nineteen eighty-four') or as a full cardinal, with US/UK style variants. Prefer this over a general number-to-words endpoint when year-specific pronunciation conventions matter, since general cardinal converters do not produce the culturally standard pair-reading form used for years.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'year' query parameter returns an error
- Year outside valid range 1–9999 returns an error or null fields
- Invalid variant value (not 'us' or 'uk') may fall back to default or error
- Network/payment failure returns no response

## How this service works

How to say a year in English: the usual pair reading (nineteen eighty-four, twenty oh-five) and the full cardinal.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the numeric year, the pair reading (e.g. 'nineteen eighty-four'), the full cardinal form (e.g. 'one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four'), the variant used (us/uk), a source attribution, a summary, and optionally degraded status and disclaimer fields.
