## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability wikimedia-commons-license-template-lookup-2324aded
```

Example prompt: Can you find me all Wikimedia Commons license templates that start with 'Cc-by-sa', up to 10 results, and give me their titles, page IDs, and links?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or enumerate Wikimedia Commons license template names and their identifiers by a known prefix, particularly for Creative Commons license variants. Prefer it over manual Wikimedia API calls when you want a simple, pay-per-call lookup of template metadata (title, page ID, URL) without needing the full license text or usage rules.

## Known failure modes

- Prefix shorter than 2 characters or longer than 40 returns a validation error
- Limit outside 1-20 range causes a parameter rejection
- No templates matching the prefix returns an empty templates array
- Wikimedia Commons API unavailable returns a proxy/upstream error
- Invalid characters in prefix (non-alphanumeric, non-hyphen, non-dot) cause a 400 error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call company registry, government, legal and B2B data tools for AI agents, from official registers and public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing the queried prefix, the Wikimedia Commons API source URL, a timestamp of when the check was performed, and an array of matching templates each with a title, page ID, and direct URL to the template page on Wikimedia Commons.
