## 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-data-api-fetcher-sh-27ce71db
```

Example prompt: Look up the App Store listing for Duolingo — get me its ratings, description, and developer info, and also pull a few user reviews.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to Apple App Store data without setting up an account, OAuth flow, or subscription. It's ideal for one-off lookups, agent workflows, or lightweight research tasks where you only need to query occasionally and want to pay fractional USDC per call. Prefer it over building your own scraper or using subscription-based App Store analytics tools when cost and setup friction matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent app ID returns a 404 or empty result
- App Store rate limiting or scraping blocks may cause intermittent failures
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Malformed query parameters may return a 400 Bad Request
- App available only in certain regions may return incomplete or no data
