## 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 anyapi-spotify-artist-lookup-6f9fc925 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you pull the Spotify artist profile for Taylor Swift — I want her follower count, popularity score, and genres?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Spotify artist metadata without managing a Spotify Developer App OAuth flow, or when you want pay-per-request pricing with no monthly subscription. Prefer this over direct Spotify API when you need quick one-off lookups billed in USDC micro-payments via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Artist not found on Spotify — returns empty result or 404-equivalent
- Ambiguous artist name matches multiple artists — may return wrong profile
- Spotify page structure changed — scraper may return incomplete data
- Invalid or malformed artist ID — returns error response
- Rate limit or upstream scraping failure — returns 5xx or timeout
