## 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 phantom-api-apechain-latest-block-5f2a62b0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What is the latest block on ApeChain right now — give me the block number, hash, and timestamp.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time access to ApeChain's latest block data without maintaining your own RPC node, especially when building agents that need pay-per-call on-chain data access with no subscription overhead. Prefer this over self-hosted nodes when low operational cost and simplicity matter more than bulk throughput.

## Known failure modes

- ApeChain RPC node unavailable — returns 5xx or timeout
- Payment not received — returns HTTP 402 requiring USDC payment via x402 protocol
- Malformed request body — returns 400 with validation error
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 too many requests
- Network congestion causing stale or delayed block data

## How this service works

Lightning-fast access to blockchain data, smart contract insights, and Web3 infrastructure across 57+ networks. Pay-per-call via x402.

## Output

Returns the most recent block on the ApeChain network, including block number (height), block hash, parent hash, timestamp, miner/validator address, transaction count, gas used, and other standard block header fields.
