## 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-full-text-of-a-public-domain-book-project-gutenberg-4ee03165
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the first part of Project Gutenberg book 1342 — Pride and Prejudice — so I can read or summarize it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the actual full text of a specific Project Gutenberg book by its numeric ID, especially when you need manageable paragraph-aligned chunks with chapter navigation metadata. Prefer this over generic web scraping when you want clean, structured text delivery with built-in pagination support and upstream attribution to Project Gutenberg.

## Known failure modes

- Book ID does not exist in Project Gutenberg — returns found: false
- Requested part number exceeds total parts available
- Network timeout fetching upstream Gutenberg content
- Invalid or non-numeric book ID causes an error response
