## 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-house-congressional-stock-trades-stock-act-ptr-dd21ea6f
```

Example prompt: Show me all stock trades disclosed by House members involving NVDA since January 1, 2024 — I want to see the trade type, amount range, transaction date, disclosure date, and the filing PDF for each one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, normalized congressional stock trade data from STOCK Act PTR filings with source citations. Prefer this over scraping the House clerk's website directly when you need clean JSON output with disclosure lag computed and each record linked to its PDF. Ideal for tracking specific tickers across all House members, or profiling a specific member's trading history within a date window.

## Known failure modes

- No trades found for the given ticker or member name in the specified date range — returns empty results
- Invalid date format (non-ISO YYYY-MM-DD) causes a 400 or empty response
- Member name substring too ambiguous — may return trades for unintended members
- Senate chamber requested — deferred/unsupported, may return no results
- Ticker symbol not recognized or not yet in the dataset — returns empty results
- Payment not processed (x402 flow not completed) — returns 402 Payment Required
