## 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-factory-federal-contract-awards-2a6eec97
```

Example prompt: Pull the top 10 federal contract awards from USAspending since January 1, 2024 worth at least $1,000,000 from the Department of Defense — show me the vendor, value, and NAICS code for each.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need clean, normalized federal contract award data from USAspending.gov with flexible filtering by vendor, agency, NAICS, value threshold, or date — particularly when you want records sorted by value without having to scrape or parse the USAspending API directly. Prefer this over direct USAspending API calls when you want pre-normalized output and need to pay per call via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid NAICS format (must be 2–6 digits) returns a 400 validation error
- Date string not in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format returns a parsing error
- vendor or agency substring too short (< 2 chars) returns a validation error
- Limit outside range 1–50 returns a schema validation error
- No matching awards for the given filters returns an empty result set
- USAspending upstream data lag may mean very recent awards are missing
