## 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 shoal-api-get-organization-by-id-d2b7804e
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the organization with ID 'org_abc123' on Shoal and tell me what data comes back?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up a specific organization by its Shoal organization ID without needing a pre-registered API key, leveraging x402 pay-per-request micropayment access at $0.005 USDC per call.

- Invalid or missing organization ID parameter — 400 or similar error response
