## 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 alpha-stream-agentdiet-dev-shopify-dtc-e-commerce-store-competitive-375770bc
```

Example prompt: Pull the full product catalog, pricing tiers, and stock availability from gymshark.com so I can benchmark it against our own DTC storefront pricing.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, structured product and pricing intelligence from a specific Shopify or DTC e-commerce storefront by URL. It is best suited for competitive benchmarking, market research, and catalog auditing tasks where up-to-date pricing and inventory data from a target merchant is required. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when the target is a Shopify-based or DTC storefront and you need structured output (SKUs, variants, prices, availability) rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Store URL is invalid or unreachable — returns an error indicating the URL could not be accessed
- Target site uses heavy anti-bot protections or CAPTCHAs that block extraction — may return partial data or an error
- Non-Shopify or non-standard e-commerce platforms may yield incomplete or malformed results
- Store has no products or is in password-protected/preview mode — catalog may be empty
- Network timeouts on slow storefronts may cause incomplete data extraction
