## 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 scholarpulse-scholarship-deadline-tracker-d21c61a1
```

Example prompt: Show me the most urgent scholarship deadlines I should apply to right now — especially any quick-win opportunities with good award amounts that close in the next few weeks.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a student or scholarship agent needs a time-sensitive, urgency-ranked list of scholarship deadlines rather than a broad discovery search. It is ideal for deadline-driven workflows where prioritization matters — helping students avoid missing high-value opportunities. Prefer this over the general scholarship search endpoint when the goal is 'what do I need to apply to NOW' rather than 'what scholarships exist for me.'

## Known failure modes

- No deadlines returned if no scholarships match the student's profile criteria
- Stale deadline data if the underlying scholarship database hasn't been refreshed recently
- HTTP 402 if the x402 payment of $0.08 USDC is not provided
- HTTP 400 if required query parameters are malformed or missing
- Deadlines may reflect general scholarship pools rather than hyper-local or institution-specific awards

## Output
