## 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 aesthetic-data-merchants-api-5d057ea0
```

Example prompt: Pull the full list of curated aesthetic merchants from the AestheticData directory, including any records currently in the review pool, so I can identify verified distributors for our procurement workflow.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-validated list of aesthetic distributors or merchants — particularly for automated procurement pipelines in the medical aesthetics space. Prefer this over generic business directory APIs when you need aesthetic-specific merchant data with governance and validation signals already applied. Especially useful when review-pool candidates also need to be surfaced for vendor evaluation workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing 'input' object returns a validation error
- Using a non-GET/HEAD/DELETE method returns an error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout if the merchant dataset is large
- Empty result set if no merchants match current filters
- Invalid boolean value for include_review_pool returns a parameter error

## How this service works

Retrieve curated aesthetic distributors/merchant records with validated links for agent procurement workflows.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a status string, a paginated array of curated aesthetic merchant/distributor records (including validated links and category metadata), and pagination details (page, pages, total, page_size).
