# agent402.tools Competitor Scan

> agent402.tools Competitor Scan is a paid API for AI agents from agent402.tools, paid per call via x402, $0.014/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Runs a bundled competitor intelligence scan — tech stack, HTTP headers, WHOIS, and page metadata — in a single x402-paid call against any URL.

## 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 agent402-tools-competitor-scan-be1abf56 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a full competitor scan on https://stripe.com — I want to see their tech stack, HTTP headers, WHOIS info, and page metadata all at once?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive single-call competitor intelligence snapshot and want to avoid orchestrating four separate tool calls. It is ideal for quick competitive audits where breadth matters more than depth, and when you want consolidated results with partial-success tolerance across each sub-step. Prefer specialized single-tool endpoints if you only need one dimension (e.g., WHOIS only).

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns non-2xx — partial results returned for other steps
- WHOIS data unavailable for certain TLDs or privacy-protected domains
- Tech stack detection may miss obfuscated or custom-built stacks
- Payment failure via x402 — call not executed
- Malformed URL input returns validation error

## How this service works

Bundled execution of the Competitor scan workflow - What's a competitor using? Tech stack, HTTP headers, WHOIS, and page metadata in one call. One x402 payment runs 4 underlying tools (tech-stack, http-headers, whois, meta); partial-success per step.

## Output

A combined report containing four sub-results: (1) tech stack detection (frameworks, CDN, analytics, CMS, etc.), (2) raw HTTP response headers, (3) WHOIS registration and ownership data, and (4) page-level metadata (title, description, Open Graph tags). Each step reports partial success or failure independently, so you get whatever data was retrievable even if one sub-tool fails.
