## 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-deployer-x402-deployer-workers-dev-bfba80c6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Wikipedia article on the French Revolution — give me the summary, main sections, the Wikidata ID, and include the full extract (up to 25,000 characters)?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, encyclopedic reference information about a topic — including a summary, sections, image, and Wikidata linkage — especially when multilingual support or a long-form extract is needed. Prefer over web scraping or general search when clean, structured Wikipedia data is the goal.

## Known failure modes

- Article not found for the given title — returns 404 or empty result
- Disambiguation page returned when title matches multiple articles
- Language code unsupported or article not available in requested language
- Network timeout or upstream Wikipedia API unavailability
- Malformed request body missing required title field
