## 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 saylor-innovations-arch-linux-package-registry-1987770f
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Arch Linux package info for 'neovim' — I want to know the current version, which repo it's in, its size, dependencies, and whether it's flagged as out of date?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured Arch Linux package metadata — especially AUR-specific signals like votes and popularity — without scraping the Arch website or AUR directly. Ideal for agents automating Arch system management, package auditing, or pre-install checks.

## Known failure modes

- Package name not found — returns 404 or empty result if the name doesn't match any official repo or AUR package
- Typo in package name — no fuzzy matching, exact name required
- AUR package may have stale metadata if the upstream AUR data hasn't been recently indexed
- Network or upstream AUR/Arch mirror unavailability may cause timeouts

## How this service works

Arch Linux package info across the official repos and the AUR - version, repo, size, dependencies, out-of-date flag, AUR votes and popularity

## Output

A JSON object containing the package's name, current version, repository (core/extra/community or AUR), installed size, dependency list, out-of-date flag, and if it's an AUR package: vote count and popularity score.
