## 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-wikimedia-commons-image-search-07540231
```

Example prompt: Search Wikimedia Commons for images of the northern lights and give me the license info, author credits, and thumbnail URLs for each result.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need properly attributed, freely licensed images from Wikimedia Commons with structured metadata including license, author, dimensions, and thumbnails — ideal when legal compliance and attribution accuracy matter. Prefer this over generic image search APIs when you specifically need Creative Commons or public domain images with full provenance.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or misspelled query terms
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 status
- Wikimedia Commons API downtime causes upstream errors
- Very broad queries may return irrelevant or low-quality images
- Author or license metadata may be absent for some older files

## How this service works

Search Wikimedia Commons images - licence name and URL, author credit, description, dimensions, original file URL and 640px thumbnail for each file

## Output

A JSON object containing the interpreted query, the data source, the number of results returned, an optional caveat note, and an array of file objects each with: license name, license URL, author credit, image description, pixel dimensions, original full-resolution file URL, and a 640px thumbnail URL.
