## 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 scriptmasterlabs-congressional-bills-search-api-149246bc
```

Example prompt: Search for congressional bills related to cryptocurrency regulation — I want to see what legislation has been introduced or is pending in Congress on that topic.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to U.S. congressional bill data with crypto-native micropayment settlement (USDC on Base). It is particularly suited for AI agents that need on-demand legislative lookup without a subscription, or for compliance and research workflows that require access to federal bill data alongside other ScriptMasterLabs endpoints like SEC filings or RWA data in a unified payment flow.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — x402 payment header missing or USDC balance insufficient, returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or malformed query parameters return an error or empty result set
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in quick succession
- Service may be slow or unavailable as it runs on Render's free/hobby tier (cold start delays)
- Sparse or empty results if search terms are too specific or bills don't match the query

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, and compliance APIs. Settled in USDC on Base via x402. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/rwa-aggregates, /x402/gas-tracker).

## Output

Returns a list of matching congressional bill records including bill numbers, titles, sponsors, current status, and relevant legislative metadata based on the search query provided.
