## 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-nasa-contract-awards-0f84ef34
```

Example prompt: Show me the latest NASA contract awards — filter to NAICS code 541715, awarded since 2024-01-01, and return up to 25 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need NASA contract award data pre-filtered without building your own query against USAspending. It is ideal for agents monitoring NASA procurement activity, doing vendor intelligence on NASA suppliers, or tracking spending by NAICS sector within NASA. Prefer this over the generic /v1/contracts/awards endpoint when NASA-only data is all you need.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format for 'since' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- NAICS code not matching the regex pattern (2-6 digits) returns a validation error
- No results found for overly narrow filters returns an empty awards array
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 response requiring USDC payment
- USAspending upstream data lag may mean very recent awards are not yet reflected

## How this service works

## Output
