## 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 wolfram-alpha-e67ab862
```

Example prompt: Use Wolfram|Alpha to compute and show me the answer to: what is the integral of x^2 from 0 to 5?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, human-readable visual answer to a computational, mathematical, scientific, or factual query and want the result rendered as a simple image. Prefer it over /v1/result (which returns plain text) or /v2/query (which returns structured XML) when visual presentation is desired or when you need to show the answer directly to a user without further parsing. Best for single-shot Q&A where formatting and readability matter more than machine-parseable structured data.

## Known failure modes

- Query not understood or no result found — returns an image stating no result or an error message
- Invalid or missing 'input' query parameter — returns HTTP 400
- Payment not processed — returns HTTP 402 requiring x402 payment
- Rate limiting or provider unavailability — returns HTTP 429 or 503
- Query too ambiguous for Wolfram|Alpha to resolve — returns an image with 'Did you mean...' suggestions

## How this service works

GET /v1/simple

## Output

Returns a rendered image (PNG/GIF) showing the computed answer, including intermediate steps, visual plots, unit conversions, or factual data as Wolfram|Alpha would display in its simple output mode. The image is self-contained and suitable for display to an end user.
