## 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 apollo-product-hunt-daily-launches-feed-46adc7a8
```

Example prompt: Show me today's top 20 Product Hunt launches in the AI category — I want to see what new AI tools just dropped.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a regularly refreshed, AI-categorized snapshot of today's Product Hunt launches without scraping Product Hunt directly. Ideal for builder agents monitoring new product releases, competitive intelligence, or identifying trends in AI/devtools/SaaS. Prefer this over raw web scraping when you need structured, pre-categorized data with highlights already surfaced.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid category value returns empty or error response
- Limit outside 1-50 range may be clamped or rejected
- Data may be up to 4 hours stale since last refresh
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 with payment instructions
- No launches available if Product Hunt hasn't published yet for the day
