## 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 rotary-agency-discogs-api-e789cd98
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Discogs entry for Miles Davis's 'Kind of Blue' and give me the tracklist, release year, label, and any available marketplace pricing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured music metadata, discography, or marketplace data sourced from the Discogs database without needing a direct Discogs API key or account. At $0.002/call it is cost-effective for occasional lookups. Prefer it over raw Discogs API access if you want a simple pay-per-call model with no subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Discogs resource ID returns empty or error JSON
- Rate limiting from upstream Discogs API may cause delayed or failed responses
- Ambiguous search queries may return irrelevant results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before data is returned
- Poorly formed query parameters yield generic or no results
