## 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-meal-by-category-a7c7039b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you show me all the meals available in the 'Seafood' category, with their thumbnails and IDs?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, key-free way to browse meals by category from TheMealDB and want structured results with thumbnails and IDs suitable for display or further lookup. Prefer it over direct TheMealDB access when operating in an x402 payment-gated agentic context.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized category name returns an empty meals list
- Missing required category body parameter causes request failure
- Network or proxy timeout results in no response
- TheMealDB upstream downtime causes proxy to return an error
