## 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 apify-niche-demand-radar-c0b64f3e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a niche demand snapshot for 'store analytics' and tell me whether it's trending up, steady, or declining — compare the last 7 days against the 30-day window and give me the opportunity score?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, scored demand snapshot for a specific named niche with trajectory and opportunity scoring, especially when comparing short-term vs medium-term demand windows. Prefer it over generic search trend tools when you need a structured opportunity score and confidence rating rather than raw search volume, and when you want a pay-per-call model without a monthly subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid niche input returns an error or empty results array
- Low sample confidence indicates insufficient data points for the niche
- Network or Apify upstream timeout causes elevated run_ms or failed settlement
- Unrecognized comparison window values may default or return a validation error
- Payment not settled (settled: false) means the call was not charged and results may be withheld

Pay-per-call data & tool APIs

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a meta block (run time in ms, settlement status, item count) and a results array containing one niche demand snapshot per request, including: niche name, requestId, reportType, demand trajectory (e.g. steady/rising/declining), opportunity score (0–100), sample confidence level (low/medium/high), comparison window used, schema version, and a generatedAt timestamp.
