## 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`):

```

Example prompt: Can you look up the App Store details for Procreate (ID 425073498) in the US store — I want its current price, average rating, and who makes it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured App Store metadata for a specific iPhone or universal iOS app identified by its numeric track ID. It is ideal for price checks, rating lookups, seller verification, version monitoring, and app enrichment workflows. Prefer this over scraping the App Store web UI or calling Apple's API directly, as it handles the lookup and normalization for you. Best when you already know the App Store track ID.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent App Store track ID returns empty or error response
- App may exist but not be available in the requested country store
- Non-iPhone/universal apps (e.g. iPad-only or macOS) may not be returned
- Invalid country code may fall back to US or return no results
- Numeric ID passed as non-digit string may fail validation
- Apple's iTunes Lookup API may be temporarily rate-limited or unavailable
