## 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-v2ex-node-api-3f4b7024
```

Example prompt: Look up the V2EX node for 'python' and give me its title, description, and how many topics it has.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-call access to V2EX node/category metadata without setting up your own V2EX API integration. Ideal for agents that occasionally need to enrich content with V2EX community context or monitor specific topic categories on the V2EX platform.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent node name returns empty or error response
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 response
- V2EX upstream API unavailability causes timeout or 503
- Missing node parameter returns malformed request error
