## 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 suverse-anime-character-search-jikan-myanimelist-f04ffdb7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search MyAnimeList for the character 'Rem' from Re:Zero and tell me her character ID, any nicknames, and how many favorites she has?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to resolve an anime or manga character name to a MyAnimeList character ID, retrieve official nicknames, or check a character's popularity (favorites count) without needing an API key. Prefer this over direct Jikan calls when you want a keyless, proxied, pay-per-call option. Not suitable for full character profile details, images, or voice actor data.

## Known failure modes

- No characters found for the given name (empty results array)
- Jikan API rate limiting causing upstream timeout or 429 errors
- Misspelled character name yields zero or irrelevant results
- Ambiguous character names may return multiple unrelated characters requiring disambiguation
- Upstream Jikan/MyAnimeList service downtime leading to 502 or 503 errors
