## 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 aiscan-aeo-score-d16870a2 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you run an AEO score audit on https://mycompany.com and tell me how well it's optimized for AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need the AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) score for a website — i.e., how well it is optimized to appear in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini. Choose this over general SEO tools when the focus is AI answer engine discoverability rather than traditional search ranking.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error
- Payment not settled results in 402 response
- Malformed URL input causes validation failure
- Timeout if the target website is slow to respond
