## 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 x402socks-6-hour-paid-proxy-access-45f59cd3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you set me up with a 6-hour x402socks proxy account? Pay the $1 USDC with my EVM wallet and get me the credentials.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need temporary, paid SOCKS proxy access for exactly 6 hours and want to pay with USDC via the x402 EVM payment protocol. Prefer this over longer-duration packages when cost minimization matters or you only need short-lived proxy access. Ideal for automated agents that provision ephemeral proxy infrastructure on-demand without long-term subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Payment amount does not exactly match required price — returns payment verification failure
- EVM transaction not yet settled or pending — returns unconfirmed payment error
- Invalid or missing x402 payment header — returns 402 Payment Required
- Package catalog mismatch or endpoint misconfiguration — returns server error
- Duplicate payment or replay attempt — may return account already exists or rejection

## How this service works

Create a one-time x402socks proxy access account after an exact EVM payment is verified and settled. Each catalog package is exposed as a separate payable resource; pricing comes from the deployed package catalog. A configured test_price_usdc is used only when testing is true.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a success field (true/false) and, on success, one-time SOCKS proxy account credentials or access token valid for 6 hours from the time of payment settlement.
