## 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-translate-utility-bfe1f962 -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call text translation without a subscription, especially in agentic workflows already using the x402 payment protocol or the whatchuneed API ecosystem. It is suitable for single-call, low-volume translation tasks where simplicity and cost transparency matter.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'input' field returns a validation error
- Unsupported language pair may return an error or empty result
- Ambiguous input without specified target language may produce unexpected translations
- Service unavailability returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before processing
