## 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 chinese-social-media-hot-lists-api-cc8e1d16 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the current hot list from Weibo and show me the top 10 trending topics with their English headlines and rankings.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time ranked trending data from Chinese social platforms (Weibo, Baidu, Zhihu, Toutiao, Douyin, Bilibili, Kuaishou) with bilingual (Chinese + English) headlines in a single unified API. It is ideal for agents monitoring Chinese internet sentiment, doing cross-platform trend analysis, or providing English-speaking users with translated Chinese trending content. At $0.01 USDC per call it is cost-effective for frequent polling. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, ranked, platform-specific hot list data rather than unstructured search results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported platform source_id returns empty items array
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) if USDC not properly sent — returns 402 response
- Data freshness lag if underlying platform scrape is stale — check fetched_at timestamp
- Network timeout if Cloudflare Worker is cold-starting
- Rate limiting if too many concurrent calls
