## 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 rentcast-random-properties-eb8a2197 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull me 10 random US property records from RentCast — I want full details including owner info, bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size, year built, and sale history.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a random or representative sample of US property records for testing, exploration, dataset building, or analysis — without specifying a particular address or location filter. Prefer this over the Property Records or Property by ID endpoints when you don't have a specific address in mind and just want a broad sampling of real US housing data.

## Known failure modes

- limit out of range (must be 1-500) returns validation error
- network timeout for large limit values
- missing or malformed request body returns 400
- authentication/payment failure returns 401 or 402

## How this service works

Get randomly selected property records. Useful for testing and sampling.
