## 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 toolsmith-web-history-lookup-a8a1f767
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the web archive history for stripe.com and show me the first and last time it was seen, plus up to 50 snapshots?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical web presence data for a URL or domain without setting up an account or API key — ideal for OSINT research, domain age verification, phishing detection, or brand history analysis. Prefer this over direct Wayback Machine API calls when operating in a pay-per-call agent context with USDC micropayments via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Domain or URL has no archive history — returns empty snapshots array
- Invalid or malformed URL input — likely returns a 400-level error
- Domain exists but is very new and has few or no snapshots
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Limit parameter exceeds 100 — rejected by schema validation

## How this service works

The archived history of any website from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine: first-seen date, last-seen date, total snapshots, how many distinct versions the page went through, and a timeline of snapshot links (one per month). Great for domain due-diligence, brand history and change tracking. JSON response. $0.01 USDC per call, pay via x402, no API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the domain, firstSeen and lastSeen dates, total snapshot count, number of distinct versions, and an array of individual snapshots each containing the archived URL, date, and HTTP status code.
