## 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 amazon-india-bestsellers-hot-new-releases-scraper-5be54533 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the top 50 bestselling products from Amazon India's Electronics and Books categories — include ASINs, prices, and ranks, and go one level deep into subcategories.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, ranked product data from Amazon India (Amazon.in) specifically, including ASINs, prices, and bestseller positions across one or more categories. It is particularly valuable when you need to traverse subcategory hierarchies (depth 2–3) or aggregate across many categories in a single call. Prefer it over general web scrapers because it returns a clean, normalized schema with rank and chart-type fields already parsed.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result if Amazon.in changes page structure or blocks the scraper
- Category URL is invalid or not a Best Sellers / Hot New Releases page — returns empty items array
- Amazon.in rate limiting or bot detection causing partial or no data
- Depth 2 or 3 crawls may time out for large category trees
- maxItems or maxItemsPerStartUrl set to 0 may return unexpectedly large or incomplete datasets

## How this service works

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

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of returned items and an array of product records, each with fields for ASIN, product name, price, currency, bestseller rank position, chart type (bestsellers or hot new releases), category name, and the source category URL.
