## 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 open-food-facts-product-lookup-by-barcode-e1adc35d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What product has the barcode 737628064502? I need the product name, brand, and what category it falls into.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify a food product from its barcode (UPC, EAN, or similar) and want basic product metadata like name, brand, and category. Prefer this over manual web scraping or full Open Food Facts API when a lightweight, paid-per-call lookup is acceptable.
