## 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 travelpulse-points-optimizer-0c71e84f
```

Example prompt: I'm based in the US and want to fly business class to Japan — I have Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, and United MileagePlus miles. What's the best way to use my points to make that happen?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user wants personalized loyalty points and miles redemption advice based on their specific programs and a concrete travel goal. It is ideal for award travel planning, maximizing credit card point value, and identifying transfer partner sweet spots — especially when the user holds specific cards or programs and wants actionable guidance rather than generic travel search results.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'goal' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Missing required 'region' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Unrecognized program names in 'programs' field may be ignored or return partial results
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 Payment Required with no data
- Overly vague redemption goals may return generic rather than targeted advice
- Unsupported language code in 'lang' field may fall back to English or return an error
