## 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-protected-content-365c7942
```

Example prompt: Fetch the premium protected content from agentx402pay.com — it costs $0.01 USDC and uses x402 payment.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when your agent needs to access paywalled or premium content hosted on agentx402pay.com and is capable of handling x402 micropayments in USDC. Prefer this over other content-fetching methods when you want a low-cost ($0.01 USDC) per-call access model without subscriptions or API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: x402 payment not accepted or USDC balance insufficient, resulting in 402 response
- Invalid request: missing required 'type' or 'method' fields returns a 4xx error
- Upstream unavailability: protected content server is down despite claimed 100% uptime
- Schema mismatch: output format differs from expected due to undocumented content changes
- Network timeout: slow response from the protected content origin

## How this service works

Premium content. Independently monitored by x402-list.com: 100% uptime since Oct 27, 2026, 14/14 x402 compliance checks (as of Oct 31, 2026). Evidence: https://x402-list.com/services/agentx402pay

## Output

Returns the gated premium content payload from the protected endpoint after the $0.01 USDC x402 micropayment is processed. The exact structure of the content is not specified in the schema (the output schema references a generic object with an example field), so the agent should expect an opaque or loosely typed response body.
