## 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-votes-850bc217
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the latest Bundestag roll-call votes from the current legislative period — I want to see what bills were voted on, the ja/nein counts, and whether they were adopted?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable Bundestag roll-call vote data with per-party breakdowns and topic tags, especially for the current legislative period. Prefer it over scraping abgeordnetenwatch.de directly when you need a clean JSON API with payment-per-call pricing and no authentication setup. It is best for agents monitoring German parliamentary activity, building political dashboards, or cross-referencing voting behavior with lobby or income data from sibling endpoints on the same platform.

## Known failure modes

- No filter parameters supported in input schema — results may always return the same default vote list
- Party group breakdown objects may be empty or sparsely populated
- If upstream abgeordnetenwatch.de data is delayed, votes may lag real parliamentary activity
- HTTP 402 if payment header is missing or malformed
- Stale data if the 6-hour refresh cycle has not yet run after a parliamentary session

## How this service works

Recorded roll-call votes in the Bundestag with result per parliamentary group and dissenters. Use when asked how parliamentary groups voted on a bill. Source-attributed, German data, updated every six hours.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of recent Bundestag votes, each with a numeric ID, date, title, link to abgeordnetenwatch.de, total vote counts (ja, nein, enthaltung, nichtabgestimmt), topic tags, adoption status, and a per-party-group breakdown. Also includes the current legislative period number, data source attribution, last-updated timestamp, and a disclaimer that this is informational, not a prediction.
