## 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 polls-karbach-digital-bundestag-member-profile-3f5b7d0d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full profile for Bundestag member ID 183231 — I want to know their party, which committees they're on, and what constituency they represent?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific Bundestag member ID and need structured biographical, party, and committee data about that individual MP. Prefer this over scraping abgeordnetenwatch directly, as it provides a clean, structured JSON response enriched with Wikidata IDs and parliamentary document counts. Ideal for enriching political databases, building MP profiles, or verifying party and committee affiliations.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent member ID returns an error or empty data
- Member ID for a historical (no longer sitting) MP may return incomplete or no data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- API may return stale data if update cycle (every 6 hours) has not yet run
