## 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-podcast-by-slug-or-id-1a739e13
```

Example prompt: Pull up the full Particle Pro profile for the 'All-In' podcast, and include its five most related shows and any recommended guests they could book next.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need comprehensive metadata for a single known podcast (by slug, internal ID, or iTunes ID) and optionally want related shows, guest suggestions, or sponsor intelligence in one call. Prefer it over list-based endpoints when you already know the podcast identifier and need depth rather than breadth. It is the right choice for podcast research, competitive ad intelligence, and guest booking workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown slug/ID returns a 404 not found error
- Requesting recommended_sponsors without a premium plan returns a 403 or plan-gate error
- Malformed path parameter (e.g. empty string) returns a 400 bad request
- Payment not provided or insufficient for the $0.01 USDC x402 fee results in a 402 Payment Required response
- topic_limit exceeding 1000 returns a validation error
