## 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-forgemesh-io-today-s-scripture-d924be78 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's today's KJV scripture reading? And can you also pull up the verse that was assigned on December 25, 2023?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a deterministic, date-based KJV Bible verse — especially useful for daily devotionals, journaling apps, or replaying a specific historical date's scripture. Prefer over general Bible APIs when you need reproducibility (same date = same verse always) and local public-domain KJV text without third-party Bible API dependencies.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format returns an error (must be YYYY-MM-DD)
- Unsupported translation code returns an error (only 'kjv' currently hosted)
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Malformed request body may return a 400 error

## How this service works

Today's scripture reading, deterministic by UTC date and served from locally hosted public-domain KJV text. Optional date input replays any day's verse.

## Output

Returns the Bible verse (KJV text) assigned to the requested date, including the passage reference and verse content. The same date always returns the same verse deterministically.
