## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-dentro-fyi-e6adf19c
```

Example prompt: Can you find independent e-commerce stores in the UK that sell sustainable clothing — I need their domain names and what platform they're on so I can pull their product catalogs next.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to discover independent e-commerce merchants by keyword, country, or category before fetching their product catalogs. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured merchant metadata (domain, platform, merchant_id) from a curated, consented directory of 22,000+ brands across 16 countries.

## Known failure modes

- No stores match the given keyword/country/category combination — returns empty list
- Invalid or unsupported country code — returns error or empty result
- Malformed query parameters — returns 400-level error
- Payment not included or rejected — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429 Too Many Requests

## How this service works

Search the Dentro commerce-merchant directory. Query by keyword, country, or category and receive a list of consented independent e-commerce stores (domain, name, country, category, platform). Use this to discover stores before pulling their full catalog with /products/:merchant_id, or use /search to query products across all merchants in one call. 22,000+ brands across 16 countries; covers shopify, woocommerce, magento, custom storefronts. No API key required, pay per call.

## Output

A list of independent e-commerce stores matching the query, each with domain, store name, country, product category, platform (e.g. Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento), and a merchant_id for downstream catalog lookups.
