## 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 blackbobs-ai-scout-amazon-a3ae525f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scout Amazon for the top results for 'wireless noise-cancelling headphones under $100' and pull back the product names, prices, and ratings?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to Amazon product data without managing Amazon API credentials directly. Ideal for price scouting, competitive intelligence, and product discovery workflows integrated into AI agent pipelines using x402 micropayments on Base chain.
