## 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 x402-current-time-api-0b84342d
```

Example prompt: What's the current server time? Give it to me in ISO 8601 format.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, authoritative server-side timestamp and are already operating in an x402 micropayment context on Base or Solana. Prefer it over local system time when you need a canonical external reference, or when testing x402 payment flows with a minimal-cost call at $0.001 USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid format enum value returns 400 error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC triggers 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailable on Render free tier cold-start causes timeout or 503
- Network latency on Render free tier may add seconds of delay
