## 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 vergabe-api-german-public-procurement-notice-lookup-e7faa636
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the procurement notice with ID 0066c4ef-f672-4717-aa5b-8b0d589a64a6-01 from the German public tender database and show me the lots, CPV codes, and submission deadlines?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific German public procurement notice ID and need structured, normalised data about that tender — including lots, CPV codes, and deadlines — sourced directly from the official eForms-DE feed. Prefer this over scraping oeffentlichevergabe.de directly because the data is pre-normalised and machine-readable. It covers both above and below EU threshold notices, making it suitable for the full range of German public sector procurement.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid notice ID returns a 404 or empty response
- Payment not included or invalid USDC payment header triggers HTTP 402 with payment instructions
- Malformed ID format causes a 400 bad request
- Notice exists in source feed but has not yet been ingested, resulting in a not-found response
- Network or worker timeout returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

German public procurement notices (above and below EU thresholds), normalised from the official eForms-DE feed of oeffentlichevergabe.de (CC0). Paid endpoints use x402 (HTTP 402, USDC on Base). Provider: Viono Insights, see /impressum.

## Output

A JSON object containing the full normalised procurement notice, including the notice ID, title, an array of lots (each with its own ID, CPV code, title, and deadline date), and a CC0 attribution string referencing the Datenservice Öffentlicher Einkauf.
