## 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-shortcut-monitor-snapshot-c81f975f
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest structured pricing snapshot for Shortcut from the Pricing State API — I need the plan names, prices, billing periods, and any listed features.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable SaaS pricing data for Shortcut specifically, without scraping or parsing HTML yourself. It is ideal for agents doing competitive pricing analysis, procurement comparisons, or automated cost monitoring where Shortcut is one of the vendors in scope. Prefer this over general web scraping when you want a clean, pre-structured JSON payload with billing period and feature metadata already extracted.

## Known failure modes

- 404 — slug not found in catalog (no charge applied)
- 503 — monitor exists but has no successful check yet (no charge applied)
- 402 — payment required if x402 wallet not configured or lacks USDC on Base
- Network timeout on 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 plan names, prices, currency, billing period, human-readable price text, optional feature lists per plan, and the timestamp of the most recent successful scrape. Returns 404 if the slug is unknown, or 503 if the monitor has never completed a successful check — both errors are returned before any charge is applied.
