## 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-via-locus-x402-84864321 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull me 20 random property records from RentCast so I can explore what the data looks like across the US housing market.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need an unfiltered, random sample of US property records without specifying location or property criteria — ideal for testing integrations, seeding datasets, or exploratory market analysis. If you need targeted property lookups by address, AVM valuations, or filtered listings, use the other RentCast endpoints in this family.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid limit value (outside 1-500 range) may cause a 400 error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error
- Service unavailability returns a 503 or timeout
- Empty or malformed response body if the RentCast upstream is degraded
