## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you get me the full list of Google Play app categories so I can use them as filter options for the Play Store charts?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover valid Google Play category identifiers before calling chart or ranking endpoints that require a category parameter. It is the authoritative reference for enumerable category values — prefer it over hardcoding category strings or guessing category IDs, especially when the category list may change over time.

## Known failure modes

- Network or upstream API failure returning a non-200 status
- Empty or null data array if the Play Store category list is temporarily unavailable
- Authentication or payment-related errors if the proxy rejects the request
- Stale category list if OpenWeb Ninja's index hasn't refreshed recently

## How this service works

Get the full list of Google Play app categories. The returned categories can be used with the Charts endpoints (as the category parameter).

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a data array of Google Play category objects, each with an 'id' field (the category identifier to use as the category parameter in chart endpoints) and a 'name' field (the human-readable category label), along with a status string and a unique request_id.
