## 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-live-election-night-results-ab19e2a8
```

Example prompt: What are the live election night results for the Saarland 2027 election right now — how many votes have been counted, what's the current turnout, and how does the vote share compare to the pre-election forecast?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint specifically when you need live, updating German election night results with source attribution and forecast comparison. It is purpose-built for German elections and provides unique value in the deviation-from-forecast metric alongside raw partial counts. Prefer it over general news APIs when structured, machine-readable data per party and turnout metrics are required during an active German election night.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown election ID returns an error — check /v1/elections for valid IDs and slugs
- Requesting results for an election that has not yet taken place or has no live data returns empty or error response
- Stale data between updates (refreshed every 6 hours) may not reflect the very latest count
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC payment is not properly handled

## How this service works

Election night: counted share, turnout, results so far and deviation from the forecast. Use on German election nights for the current count. Source-attributed, German data, updated every six hours.

## Output

Returns structured election night data for the requested election ID, including the share of votes counted so far per party, overall voter turnout, cumulative partial results as counting progresses, and the deviation between current results and pre-election forecasts. Data is source-attributed and updated approximately every six hours.
