## 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 random-country-lookup-d396f6d3
```

Example prompt: Pick a random country for me and tell me its name, flag emoji, and ISO codes — use seed 'game42' so I can reproduce the result.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a random, real, normalized sovereign country on demand — especially when you also need ISO codes and flag emoji in a single call. Prefer it over building your own country table or calling a general geography API when cost ($0.001 USDC) and simplicity matter. Use the optional seed parameter for reproducible results in tests or demos.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid seed value may return an error or unexpected result
- Service unavailable returns a 5xx error
- Payment not accepted results in 402 response blocking access

## How this service works

Return a real randomly selected sovereign country with normalized ISO codes and flag emoji.

## Output

A JSON object containing the full country name, ISO alpha-2 code (e.g. 'DE'), ISO alpha-3 code (e.g. 'DEU'), and the corresponding Unicode flag emoji for a randomly selected real sovereign country. If a seed is provided, the selection is reproducible.
