## 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 article-syndicator-lead-scrape-api-952d3930 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you pull me up to 25 home services business leads in Los Angeles & San Fernando Valley, CA from Article Syndicator? Use my affiliate ID 'partner-abc123' so I get commission credit.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a targeted list of local business prospects in a specific vertical (home services, legal, dental/medical, restaurants, or cloud B2B SaaS) within a defined geographic market. Best suited for outbound sales agents, marketing automation, or partner programs needing fresh lead lists with affiliate tracking support. Not suitable for general web scraping, content syndication tasks, or acquiring consumer (B2C) leads.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported vertical enum value returns validation error
- Invalid or missing location string may return empty results or error
- Limit value too high may be capped or rejected
- Missing required fields (vertical or location) return 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents call from executing
