## 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 war-tracker-com-0b039f99 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the full media file — photo or video — for war-tracker event 397003, and let me know if it's an image or video based on the content type.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific war-tracker event ID and need the actual raw media bytes (photo or video) rather than metadata. Check the has_media and is_video flags on the /api/v1/events/{event_id} endpoint before paying to confirm media exists. Prefer this over scraping the share page when you need machine-consumable binary data rather than HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Event ID does not exist — endpoint may return 404 not found
- Event has no attached media (has_media flag is false) — may return empty or error response
- Video content may require range request handling for large files
- Payment not processed — 402 Payment Required if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate limiting or access restrictions may return 429 or 403

## How this service works

Unlocks paid access to media content from War Tracker.

## Output

Raw binary bytes of the media file (photo or video). The Content-Type header indicates the MIME type: image/jpeg, image/png, or video/mp4. Range requests are supported for video streaming. Returns binary content at a flat price of $0.01 USDC per call.

## Response schema (JSON Schema)

```json
{
 "type": "bytes",
 "example": "binary image/* or video/mp4 bytes; Content-Type reflects the underlying media (image/jpeg, image/png, video/mp4). Range requests supported on video responses."
}
