## 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-votes-by-member-id-ae151e75

Example prompt: Can you pull up the recent voting record for Bundestag member Aaron Valent — I want to see how he voted and whether any of his votes went against his party Die Linke?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, per-member voting records from the German Bundestag with party-line deviation flags. It is ideal for political research, journalism, transparency tools, or building dashboards that track how individual MPs vote. Prefer it over manual scraping of abgeordnetenwatch.de when you need machine-readable output with consistent schema, or when you need to cross-reference voting behavior with poll simulation data from the same API provider.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown member ID returns an empty or error response
- Member ID path parameter not substituted (literal {mid}) causes 404 or bad request
- Data lag of up to 6 hours means very recent votes may not appear
- Parliament recess periods may yield sparse recent vote lists
- Free-tier rate limiting or payment failure at $0.02 USDC per call via x402 protocol
