## 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 yruz-date-to-unix-timestamp-converter-b4bd7c80 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert July 4, 2025 at midnight to a Unix timestamp using the America/New_York timezone.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call conversion of a date string to a Unix timestamp without setting up a local library, especially when working in environments where datetime parsing libraries are unavailable or when you need a deterministic, timezone-aware conversion via a simple API call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unparseable date string returns an error
- Unrecognized IANA timezone string causes a validation failure
- Missing required 'date' field returns a bad request error
- Ambiguous date formats may be misinterpreted or rejected
