## 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-federal-spending-by-agency-api-24bc8b2c
```

Example prompt: Pull the federal spending breakdown by agency from ScriptMasterLabs — I want to see how much each government department is spending so I can compare budget allocations across agencies.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call, micropayment-gated access to US federal spending data organized by agency, especially in agentic workflows that support x402/USDC payments on Base. It is well-suited for compliance, policy research, or financial analysis use cases that require structured government expenditure data without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed query parameters may return empty or generic results
- 402 Payment Required if USDC micropayment via x402 is not properly configured or insufficient
- 503 or timeout if the hosted Render service is cold-starting or unavailable
- No data returned for invalid or unrecognized agency identifiers
- Rate limiting or payment failures if wallet balance is depleted

## 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
