## 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 402utils-market-price-stats-4a666a54
```

Example prompt: I'm about to list my PDF extraction service on the x402 Bazaar — can you pull the live market price stats for 'pdf extraction' so I can see what others are charging and whether my $0.02 price is competitive?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to benchmark pricing for an x402/micropayment API service against the live Bazaar market, either by keyword category (e.g. 'vat', 'pdf', 'search') or a free-text service description. Prefer this over manual catalog browsing when you want statistical summaries (percentiles, min/max) rather than a raw list of services. Not suitable for general SaaS pricing research outside the x402 ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Fewer than 3 matching resources returns a response with a note field saying 'insufficient market data' and no priceUsd stats
- Neither category nor query parameter provided — returns a 400-level error
- Category or query too broad/vague resulting in low-quality matches
- Service is priced in non-USD denominations and excluded from sampleSize stats
- Network error or catalog temporarily unavailable

## How this service works

Live market price stats for a kind of x402 service, from the public Bazaar catalog. Pass ?category=vat or ?query=pdf extraction and get {sampleSize, priceUsd:{min,p25,median,max,p75}, networks, examples} in USD — is your price fair, what should you charge? Computed over a live sample of up to 1000 resources; <3 matches returns an honest 'insufficient market data'. Neutral: our own endpoints are never featured.

## Output

A JSON object with sampleSize (number of USD-priced matching resources), priceUsd object containing min/p25/median/p75/max in USD, an array of up to 5 example matching resources with their prices and networks, matched count, CAIP-2 network list, and a disclaimer. Returns a note field with 'insufficient market data' if fewer than 3 matches are found.
