## 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 tropical-autonome-artisanal-caribbean-fishing-data-a39f59b2
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest artisanal fishing data for the Caribbean from Tropical Autonome's data marketplace? I need structured records on small-scale fishing activity across the region.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need structured artisanal fishing data from the Caribbean region and are operating within an x402-compatible payment workflow on Base network. Prefer this over scraping or general web search when you need clean, machine-readable fishing statistics for Caribbean small-scale fisheries.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if no valid X-Payment header is provided — agent must complete USDC payment and retry
- Invalid or unconfirmed transaction hash in X-Payment header results in payment rejection
- Endpoint may return empty or sparse data if no recent fishing records are available
- Network unavailability of Cloudflare Workers infrastructure could cause timeouts
- Incorrect USDC amount sent may cause payment validation failure

## How this service works

Single entry point for AI agents accessing structured Caribbean data.

**Payment protocol (x402):**
1. Call any paid endpoint → receive HTTP 402 with `accepts` array (x402Version 1)
2. Send exact USDC amount to the `payTo` address on Base network (L2 Ethereum)
3. Retry with header: `X-Payment: 0x{transaction_hash}`

**Currency:** USDC on Base network
**Operator:** Tropical Autonome — Lamentin, Guadeloupe (971)
**Contact:** tropicalautonome@gmail.com

## Output

Structured data records describing artisanal fishing activity in the Caribbean — likely including catch volumes, fishing methods, vessel types, geographic zones, or seasonal patterns — returned as JSON after a successful x402 micropayment of $0.05 USDC on Base network.
