## 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 sports-team-profile-lookup-654fc37c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the team profile for Arsenal in the EPL — I want to see their current record, home venue, year founded, and recent form?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, normalized team profile fused from multiple authoritative sports data sources for one of the five supported major leagues (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA, EPL). It is ideal when you want a single structured JSON response covering record, venue, founding year, country, and recent form without having to query ESPN, official league APIs, and TheSportsDB separately. Prefer this over general web search when structured, machine-readable sports data is needed for downstream processing or display.

## Known failure modes

- Team name or abbreviation not recognized — returns error if team cannot be matched to the specified league
- Unsupported league key — only mlb, nhl, nfl, nba, epl are accepted; other leagues return validation error
- Recent form data may be unavailable for some teams mid-season or in offseason
- Ambiguous team name (e.g. a city with multiple teams across leagues) may require disambiguation via the league parameter
- Network or upstream API failure from ESPN or TheSportsDB may result in partial data or timeout

## How this service works

Team profile for a major sports league, normalized to one cited JSON. Give a league and a team name or abbreviation and get the team's record, home venue, country, year founded and recent form where available. Fused from official league APIs, ESPN and TheSportsDB.

## Output

A normalized JSON object containing the team's win-loss record, home venue name, country, year founded, and recent form (e.g. last 5 results), with citations indicating which source (official league API, ESPN, or TheSportsDB) contributed each data point.
