## 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-deepseek-pricing-snapshot-8e766218
```

Example prompt: What are DeepSeek's current pricing plans right now — give me the plan names, prices, billing periods, and any features listed for each tier?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need machine-readable, structured DeepSeek pricing data without scraping their website yourself. It's ideal for AI agents doing competitive pricing research, budget planning, or monitoring pricing changes across SaaS/inference providers. Prefer this over web scraping when you need reliable, structured output with plan-level granularity and a consistent schema across providers.

## Known failure modes

- 404 - Unknown catalog slug (no charge applied)
- 503 - Monitor exists but has no first successful check yet (no charge applied)
- Payment failure - x402 wallet not funded with USDC on Base
- Network timeout from Replit-hosted service

## 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 DeepSeek's current pricing plans: plan names, prices, currency, billing period, price text strings, feature lists (when available), and the timestamp of when the snapshot was taken. Returns 404 if the slug is unknown, 503 if no successful check has been completed yet — both before any charge is made.
