## 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-zenodo-api-a185d1a4
```

Example prompt: Can you search Zenodo for open-access datasets about climate change and ocean temperatures, and give me the titles, DOIs, and download links for the top results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically access open-access scientific datasets, research publications, or academic records from the Zenodo repository without building your own Zenodo integration. Ideal for agents that need to surface research data, fetch dataset metadata by DOI, or search scholarly content at very low cost ($0.002/call) via x402 micropayment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing query parameters return an error JSON
- Non-existent DOI or record ID returns a not-found response
- Payment not received results in HTTP 402 response requiring $0.002 USDC
- Zenodo upstream downtime may cause gateway errors
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion if too many calls made in short succession
