## 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 particle-pro-get-episode-by-id-d3095cef
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Particle Pro episode record for the episode with ID 'ep_abc123' and give me its details?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific episode ID or slug and need the full structured metadata for that single episode. Prefer this over list/search endpoints when the identifier is already known and you need deterministic lookup rather than discovery.

## Known failure modes

- Episode ID or slug not found returns a 404-style error
- Invalid or malformed ID format may result in a validation error
- Episode may exist but be unpublished or restricted, returning an empty or error response
- API returns a payment-required error if the x402 payment flow fails or USDC balance is insufficient
