## 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`):

```

Example prompt: Can you tell me who currently governs Bavaria — which parties are in the coalition, who is in the cabinet, and what the polls look like before the next state election?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, single-call snapshot of a specific German federal state covering its government, parliament, statistics, and election outlook. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, source-attributed data suitable for automated processing. Best when the user asks about governance, cabinet composition, coalition structure, statistical rankings among German states, or pre-election polling for a named German Land. Not suitable for federal (Bundestag) politics or non-German jurisdictions.

## Known failure modes

- 503 Service Unavailable — dataset is stale beyond its allowed freshness window (not charged); retry later when data is refreshed
- Invalid state code (not a valid 2-letter German Land abbreviation) may return a 4xx error
- Network timeout or upstream data source unavailability
- State code supplied in wrong case or format (must be exactly 2 alpha characters)

## How this service works

One German state (Land): parliament seats by group with majority and governing groups, cabinet with portfolios, 13 official statistics with German value and rank, next state election with our forecast. Use when asked who governs a German state, how its parliament is composed, who is in its cabinet, how it compares statistically, or who leads before its next election. Source-attributed. Refused (503, not charged) if a dataset is older than its limit (13 hours to 365 days).

## Output

A structured JSON object containing: (1) parliament seats broken down by political group with indication of majority and governing groups; (2) cabinet roster with each minister's name and portfolio; (3) 13 official statistics for the state (value + national rank, in German); (4) the next scheduled state election date plus a polling-based forecast. Returns HTTP 503 (not charged) if any dataset exceeds its freshness limit (between 13 hours and 365 days depending on dataset).
