## 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-ingredient-dfa802bd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have chicken in the fridge — can you find me some recipes that use chicken as the main ingredient?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to discover meal ideas based on a specific ingredient on hand, without requiring an API key. Ideal for pantry/fridge-based meal planning workflows, cooking assistant agents, or any scenario where the user wants recipe inspiration grounded in what they already have. Prefer over raw TheMealDB calls when operating in an x402-compatible agentic environment.

## Known failure modes

- Ingredient name not recognized by TheMealDB returns empty meals array
- Misspelled or non-English ingredient names may return no results
- Very obscure or regional ingredients may have no matches in TheMealDB database
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 status with no data
- Malformed request body returns a 400-level error

## How this service works

Recipes that use a main ingredient from TheMealDB, no key. Returns meals containing the ingredient. For AI agents building recipes around what is on hand.

## Output

A list of meals from TheMealDB that feature the given ingredient, typically including meal names, meal IDs, and thumbnail image URLs for each matching recipe.
