## 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-jsonplaceholder-albums-api-6bfe32d1
```

Example prompt: Pull the full list of sample albums from the JSONPlaceholder dataset so I can use the mock data in my prototype.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick access to structured fake album data for prototyping, testing, or demonstration purposes and want to pay per-call via x402 micropayment rather than managing your own JSONPlaceholder integration. Useful in agentic workflows where a live HTTP endpoint with a payment interface is preferable to bundling static test fixtures.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required returned
- Upstream JSONPlaceholder service unavailable — 502 or 503 error
- Network timeout if upstream is slow — request may hang or return 504
- Invalid or malformed x402 payment header — payment rejected before data is returned
