## 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 pokeapi-machine-lookup-c4569110 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What move does machine ID 3 teach in Pokémon, and which item and version group does it belong to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata about a specific Pokémon TM or HM machine — including the move it teaches, its associated item, and the game version group — identified by a numeric machine ID. Prefer this over a general PokéAPI call when you want a simple, paid, low-friction lookup without setting up your own PokéAPI integration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent machine ID returns an error or empty response
- Missing ?id= parameter results in a bad request error
- IDs outside the valid PokéAPI machine range return no data
- Network or upstream PokéAPI unavailability causes request failure

## How this service works

Item, move and version group of a Pokemon TM/HM machine (param id). Query: ?id= Returns JSON.

## Output

A JSON object containing the machine's associated item (e.g. TM or HM item object), the move it teaches (move name and reference), and the version group it belongs to (e.g. generation/game series), mirroring the PokéAPI /machine/{id} response structure.
