## 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 scrapfly-books-search-api-0c96db1a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for books about machine learning and return the top 5 results with their details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search for books by title, author, topic, or keyword and retrieve structured book data. Prefer this over general web scraping endpoints when the specific goal is book discovery or catalog lookup.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns validation error
- Empty query string may return no results
- Network timeout if upstream book data source is slow
- Invalid num value (e.g. negative or non-numeric) may cause error
- Service unavailable if payment via x402 on Base chain fails

## How this service works
