## 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`):

zero fetch --capability tropical-autonome-caribbean-import-export-data-d7d07cc2
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest Caribbean import and export trade data from Tropical Autonome's marketplace — I need structured commerce figures for the region?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured Caribbean trade and commerce data, specifically import/export figures, and are operating an agent capable of x402 micropayments on the Base (L2 Ethereum) network with USDC. Prefer this over general web scraping when you need clean, machine-readable Caribbean economic data at low per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if payment not yet made — must send 0.05 USDC to payTo address on Base and retry with X-Payment header
- Invalid or missing transaction hash results in payment verification failure
- Stale or incorrect transaction hash may cause authentication rejection
- Endpoint may return empty results if no data matches implicit query parameters
- Network timeout on Cloudflare Workers edge if upstream data source is unavailable

## 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
