## 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 carsales-com-au-listing-scraper-x402-7e7f504c -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Search carsales.com.au for used Toyota HiLux listings in Queensland — give me up to 50 results with make, model, year, and listing URL.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured vehicle listing data from carsales.com.au specifically — the dominant Australian car marketplace. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you want clean JSON output already parsed into vehicle fields. The pay-per-successful-call model (no charge for failed or empty runs) makes it low-risk for exploratory queries. Best for Australian market research, price comparison, inventory monitoring, or lead generation involving carsales listings.

## Known failure modes

- No listings found matching search criteria — returns empty items array, no charge
- Access blocked by carsales.com.au anti-scraping measures, especially when includeListingDetails is true
- Invalid or inaccessible startUrl in URL mode returns no results
- maxPages capped at 20 regardless of input
- Rate limiting or network errors on the provider's infrastructure

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of listings and an array of items, each containing vehicle attributes such as make, model, year, badge, body style, canonical URL, and network ID. Fields may be sparse unless includeListingDetails is enabled.
