## 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 baidu-search-scraper-api-x402-e1eeaea1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Baidu for '人工智能 2024' in Simplified Chinese and give me the top 20 organic results including titles, links, and snippets — up to 2 pages.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured organic search results specifically from Baidu — the dominant Chinese-language search engine — rather than Google or Bing. Ideal for Chinese market research, SEO analysis targeting Chinese audiences, or any task requiring insight into what content ranks on the Chinese web. The pay-per-call model with no charge for failed or empty runs makes it low-risk for exploratory queries.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if the query returns no organic Baidu results (not charged)
- Invalid timePeriod format causes no results or error
- Language enum value outside 'all','zh-CN','zh-TW' causes validation error
- maxPages set below 1 causes schema validation failure
- Network or scraping timeout may return partial results
- Baidu anti-bot measures may reduce result count on some queries

## How this service works

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

## Output

A JSON object with a count of results found, a product identifier ('baidu'), and an array of items each containing: title, snippet, link, baiduLink (Baidu's redirect URL), displayedLink, position, and page number.
