## 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-review-scraper-x402-9b0d7ead -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the 50 most recent 1-star and 2-star App Store reviews for 'Robinhood' in the US store so I can analyze what users are complaining about.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Apple App Store review data without managing web scraping infrastructure, especially when you want pay-per-result pricing (no charge for failed or empty runs). Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you need App Store-specific fields like rating, reviewId, and authorId already parsed and structured. Best for agent workflows that need to monitor app reputation, perform sentiment analysis on mobile app feedback, or compare competitor reviews at scale.

## Known failure modes

- App name search returns no matching listing — try supplying a numeric product ID instead
- Requested page range exceeds App Store RSS availability (max 10 pages / 500 entries)
- Invalid country code returns empty results or error
- No reviews match the specified star rating filter — returns count 0 and empty items array
- Network or App Store availability issue — call is not charged on empty or failed runs

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of returned reviews and an array of review items, each with review text, title, star rating (1–5), author name, author ID, review ID, review date (human-readable and ISO format), and the product name identifier 'apple-store'.
