## 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 pricing-state-api-aws-pricing-snapshot-582e8888
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest structured AWS pricing snapshot — I need plan names, prices, billing periods, and features in a machine-readable format?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, machine-readable snapshot of AWS pricing that is regularly refreshed (~6 hour schedule) without scraping AWS yourself. Prefer this over general web scraping when you need normalized plan/price/feature fields and a guaranteed JSON schema. Ideal for agents doing pricing comparisons, cost monitoring, or procurement research across multiple cloud providers using the same catalog format.

## Known failure modes

- 404 — unknown catalog slug (not a recognized vendor, returned before payment)
- 503 — monitor exists but has no first successful check yet (returned before payment)
- Payment failure — x402-compatible wallet not funded with USDC on Base
- Network timeout on upstream AWS pricing page fetch

## How this service works

$0.01 USDC required (x402 / Base)

Paid 0.01 USDC. Structured snapshot for one catalog slug: plan names, prices, currency, billing period, price text, features when present, snapshot time. Unknown slug returns 404 and a monitor with no first successful check returns 503, both before charge.

No API key needed. Pay with any x402-compatible wallet that holds USDC on Base. If your agent does not yet have a funded wallet, set one up via Coinbase Agentic Wallet or Base MCP — then standard x402 clients will pay and retry automatically.

## Output

A structured JSON snapshot containing AWS plan names, prices, currency, billing periods, formatted price text, features (when available), and the timestamp of the snapshot. Returns 404 if the slug is unknown, or 503 if the monitor has no successful check yet — both before any charge is applied.
