## 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 recipe-unit-converter-with-ingredient-density-dc79a8bf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How many grams is 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour? I need the volume-to-weight conversion using real flour density.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need recipe-specific unit conversions that account for ingredient density — especially for volume-to-weight (cups to grams) or weight-to-volume (grams to cups) conversions where a generic unit converter would give wrong results. Prefer this over a general metric-imperial converter when the input involves food ingredients and cooking measurements.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported unit pair returns an error (e.g. converting grams to cups without specifying an ingredient)
- Unknown or unsupported ingredient name may return a generic density or error
- Ingredient field omitted for volume-to-weight conversion will fail or return inaccurate results
- Invalid or non-numeric amount input returns a validation error

## How this service works

Recipe measurement converter for cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, liters, fluid ounces, grams, kilograms, ounces, and pounds — including volume-to-weight conversion using real ingredient densities for flour, sugar, butter, honey, rice, and 40+ others. For recipe scaling, meal-prep apps, and grocery-list agents.

## Output

Returns the converted measurement value in the requested target unit, using real ingredient-specific density data for volume-to-weight or weight-to-volume conversions, along with the conversion factor or density used.
