## 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 wikipedia-random-article-fetcher-b99dbed1
```

Example prompt: Give me 3 random Wikipedia articles in Spanish — I want to discover something unexpected today.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to surface random or serendipitous Wikipedia content for discovery, trivia, education, or content inspiration purposes, especially when you want multilingual support. Prefer this over a search-based Wikipedia endpoint when you don't have a specific topic in mind.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid language code returns error or falls back to English
- Count exceeding 10 may return error or be capped
- Wikipedia API unavailability causes fetch failure
- Cached stale data may be returned when source is unavailable
