## 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 apple-app-store-app-lookup-api-fetcher-sh-8d151a02
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the App Store details for the app with ID 284882215 — I want to see its name, developer, current rating, and category?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call Apple App Store data without setting up an account, OAuth, or a subscription. It is ideal for ad-hoc app lookups, competitive research, or agent workflows that only occasionally query App Store data and want to pay micro-amounts in USDC rather than commit to a monthly plan. Prefer it over direct Apple API access when you want a simple REST interface with no Apple developer account required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent appId returns 404 or empty result
- App has been removed from the App Store — returns not found error
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Apple App Store regional restrictions may affect availability of certain app data
- Scraping instability if Apple changes their store structure
