## 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-scripture-qur-an-ayah-lookup-12e0502d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Arabic text and translations for Qur'an verse 2:255 — that's Ayat al-Kursi?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic access to Qur'an text — Arabic source and/or one of 100+ translations — by surah, ayah, or ayah range. Ideal for Islamic apps, religious reference tools, chatbots answering Qur'an queries, or any agent task requiring verified scriptural text. Prefer it over manual scraping or unstructured sources because it returns structured JSON with consistent reference formatting.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range surah/ayah reference returns found: false
- Malformed ref parameter format (e.g. missing colon) may return an error or not found
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response
- Network timeout if upstream scripture database is unavailable
