## 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 animica-x402-analytics-peers-service-peer-ranking-lookup-4dce602a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the top 5 peer services for https://animica.dev/x402/analytics/peers in the x402 index and include the AI-written narrative interpretation of its competitive landscape.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover, compare, or rank services that are peers to a specific x402-listed API — particularly when you want ranked analytics (price, call volume, payer diversity) and optionally an AI-written market interpretation. Prefer this over generic web search when the target service is known to be in the x402 ecosystem and you need structured, quantitative peer data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-indexed URL returns empty or error response
- top_peers value outside 0-25 range may be rejected or clamped
- Service not found in x402 index results in unverified subject listing
- Network timeout if x402 index is slow to respond
- Payment failure via x402 protocol if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Competitive position for a single x402 resource. Give a URL that is listed anywhere in the merged index and get back what the index holds on it (including any correction our own unpaid 402 probe made to its advertised price), the peer set derived from its own description, and where it ranks among those peers on price, call volume, payer diversity and callability — plus the mirrors of itself that are listed as separate services. Useful whether the endpoint is yours or one you are about to buy from. Interpretation is written by Animica's own AICF inference network; every figure is computed in code.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the subject service's listing details and verification status, a list of peer services (up to 25), rankings by price, call count, and payer diversity, any known mirror URLs, and an optional AI-generated narrative (provenance + grounding) interpreting the peer landscape.
