## 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 openfda-food-enforcement-recalls-search-edb9b7b2
```

Example prompt: Search the FDA food enforcement database for recalls related to 'peanut butter' and show me the first 5 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to FDA food enforcement recall data with minimal overhead. Prefer it over direct OpenFDA API calls when operating in an x402 payment-enabled agent environment on Base, or when you want a simplified slim JSON response with a built-in UI link. Ideal for compliance checks, food safety monitoring, or enriching product data with recall history.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 if payment is not provided or USDC balance is insufficient
- Empty items array if search term matches no records
- Invalid or missing 'search' parameter returns an error
- Rate limiting or upstream OpenFDA unavailability may cause 5xx errors
- Malformed query string may return unexpected or empty results

## How this service works

Paid public-data feeds. Unpaid requests return HTTP 402. Prices are USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a slim JSON object containing a list of matching FDA food enforcement recall items and a uiLink for further browsing. Each item includes recall details sourced directly from the OpenFDA food enforcement dataset.
