## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability rotary-agency-theaudiodb-proxy-0c1231d6
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the artist info for Radiohead from TheAudioDB — I need their biography, genre, and country of origin?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured music metadata (artist bios, album details, track info) sourced from TheAudioDB and want to pay per-call via the x402 crypto payment protocol without managing a separate TheAudioDB API key. Useful for agents needing music enrichment in a pay-as-you-go model.

## Known failure modes

- Artist or album not found in TheAudioDB returns empty or null result set
- Malformed or missing query parameters result in an error response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before reaching the data source
- TheAudioDB upstream outage causes proxy to return an error
- Rate limiting or abuse detection may block repeated rapid calls
