## 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-tempest-directory-2c311ca4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the whatchuneed directory for all available endpoints related to cryptocurrency data so I can pick the right one for my agent.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to discover what capabilities are available on the whatchuneed platform before making a specific API call. Prefer this over hardcoding endpoint paths when the target service category is known but the exact endpoint is not. Especially useful for agents dynamically routing tasks across domains like crypto, medical, or finance.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or empty input query returns irrelevant or no results
- Platform may have stale directory if new endpoints were recently added
- Overly broad query returns too many results with insufficient differentiation
- $0.15 USDC payment failure blocks access to directory
- Response schema is loosely typed — result object structure may vary

## How this service works

320+ pay-per-call API endpoints across accommodation, LLM, code execution, crypto, medical, finance, and more. One API, one payment. Powered by x402 protocol.

## Output

A structured list or directory of available API endpoints on the whatchuneed platform, including endpoint names, categories, descriptions, and likely pricing or capability metadata — enabling an agent to discover and select the right downstream endpoint for a given task.
