```sh
zero fetch --capability the402-ai-content-analysis-api-998538cc -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you analyze this article for me using the402.ai content analysis service and let me know the job ID so I can track the results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to run content analysis through the402.ai marketplace and can pay $0.011 USDC per call via x402 micropayment. Best suited for async workflows where you submit content, receive a job_id, and poll for results separately. Prefer over alternatives when integrating with the402 agent marketplace ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment fails and job is not created
- Invalid or missing content payload — returns 4xx error with no job_id
- Service temporarily unavailable — no job created, retry required
- Payment protocol mismatch — x402 header not properly formed
- Duplicate submission — new job_id issued but may duplicate work and incur additional charge
