## 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 scrapling-x402-ping-payment-health-check-f022878c
```

Example prompt: Send a test ping to the Scrapling x402 data store — I want to confirm my micropayment setup is working correctly before I buy any real data.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the very first call when integrating x402 micropayment support into an AI agent or automated workflow — it is the cheapest possible ($0.001) round-trip confirmation that payment credentials, wallet balance, and x402 handshake are all functioning before committing to more expensive data calls. Prefer it over any other Scrapling endpoint specifically for payment integration testing and catalog discovery.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure (402): x402 payment credentials are invalid, wallet has insufficient USDC, or payment setup is misconfigured
- Network error: scraplingdata.xyz is unreachable
- Unexpected server error (5xx): service is temporarily down

## How this service works

Payment test: the cheapest paid call ($0.001). Returns ok, server time, server name and catalog links so an agent can confirm its x402 payment setup works before buying real data. No parameters

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an OK status, the current server timestamp, the server name, and links to the Scrapling data catalog so the caller can confirm payment succeeded and discover further endpoints to call.
