## 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-latest-block-lookup-5e680186 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the latest block on the blockchain right now? Use Phantom API to fetch the most recent block data so I can see the current block number, hash, and timestamp.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, up-to-the-second latest block data across any of 57+ supported networks via a pay-per-call model with no subscription required. Prefer it over self-hosted RPC nodes when you want zero infrastructure overhead and sub-second response times, or when you need broad multi-chain coverage without managing multiple provider keys.

## Known failure modes

- Network or RPC node unavailability returns an error or timeout
- Unsupported or unrecognized chain identifier returns a 400 or 422 error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request body (wrong bodyType or missing required fields) returns a 400 Bad Request
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may return a 429 Too Many Requests

## 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 structured data about the most recently confirmed block on the target blockchain network, typically including block number (height), block hash, parent hash, timestamp, transaction count, and other block-level metadata depending on the chain.
