## 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 us-federal-product-recall-search-78e51922
```

Example prompt: Search for any US federal recalls related to 'Listeria' in FDA food products between January 1 2024 and June 30 2024 — give me up to 20 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need broad full-text search across multiple federal recall agencies simultaneously, or when the user provides a keyword, topic, or date range rather than a specific recall number or UPC. Prefer the firm-name or recall-number sibling endpoints when those specific identifiers are known.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given query or date range — returns empty result set
- Invalid source enum value (must be cpsc, fda, nhtsa, or fsis) — returns 400 error
- Malformed date_from or date_to format — returns 400 or 422 validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429 error

## How this service works

Search US federal product recalls (CPSC consumer products, FDA food/drug/device enforcement, USDA FSIS meat/poultry recalls, NHTSA vehicle campaigns) by free-text query, firm name, date range, and source.

## Output

A list of recall records matching the query, each containing recall number, agency source (cpsc/fda/fsis/nhtsa), firm name, product description, recall reason, and recall date, paginated by limit and offset.
