## 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 aldi-australia-product-scraper-x402-9eab524b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search ALDI Australia for 'olive oil' and 'pasta', sort results by price ascending, and give me the top 20 products per term with their names, prices, and price-per-unit.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured product data (name, price, brand, unit cost) from ALDI Australia specifically — either by keyword search or by direct category/product URL. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you want clean, schema-normalised ALDI data with price-per-unit fields already parsed. The pay-per-successful-call model (failed/empty runs not charged) makes it safe for exploratory or speculative queries.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set (no products found for search term — not charged)
- Invalid or inaccessible URL in startUrls (scrape fails or returns no items — not charged)
- Malformed input schema (missing both searchTerms and startUrls)
- ALDI Australia website structure change causing parsing failure
- Rate limit or payment failure via x402 protocol

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

A JSON object with a count of matched products and an items array. Each item contains: name, SKU, brand, current price, was price (if on sale), human-readable price display string, price per unit, and a short product description. Failed or empty runs are not billed.
