## 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 whatchuneed-ndc-drug-lookup-3b55b868 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the drug information for NDC code 0069-0420-30 and tell me the medication name, manufacturer, and dosage form?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify a medication from its NDC (National Drug Code), such as when processing pharmacy data, verifying drug information from barcodes, or enriching medical records. Prefer this over general medical search endpoints when you have a specific NDC code and need structured drug metadata. Best suited for single-NDC lookups rather than bulk queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed NDC code returns an error or empty result
- NDC not found in database returns no matching drug record
- Missing required 'input' field returns a validation error
- Network or upstream database timeout may result in a failed status
- Discontinued or very old NDC codes may not be found in current datasets
