## 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 payai-govcon-award-detail-c59c9942
```

Example prompt: I found a federal award in search results — can you pull up the full detail record for the one with generated_internal_id 'CONT_AWD_FA864123P0001_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-'? I want to see the total obligation, award dates, awarding agency, and who the recipient is.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the drill-down step after searching with /govcon/awards — it retrieves the complete structured record for a single known award ID. Prefer this when you already have a generated_internal_id and need full obligation amounts, dates, agency hierarchy, and recipient parent details that aren't available in list/search results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized generated_internal_id returns an error or empty result
- generated_internal_id not provided returns a 400/422 validation error
- Award may exist in search index but have limited detail if source data is sparse
- Payment failure (402) if x402 micropayment header is not provided correctly
- Rate limiting or temporary upstream USASpending API outage

## How this service works

Get the full detail of one US federal award by its generated_internal_id (returned from /govcon/awards): award id, type, description, total obligation, dates, awarding agency hierarchy and recipient with parent. The drill-down step after a /govcon/awards search.

## Output

Returns a structured object with the full award record: award ID, award type (contract, grant, etc.), description, total obligation amount, period of performance start and end dates, awarding agency name and hierarchy (agency, sub-agency, office), and recipient details including name and ultimate parent organization.
