## 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 competitor-discovery-a4f825de -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Who are the top organic search competitors of shopify.com in the United States? Show me their ranking overlap, estimated traffic, and how many keywords they share with Shopify.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to identify which domains are competing for the same organic search keywords as a target domain, including traffic and ranking overlap data. Prefer this over generic web searches when you need structured, metrics-backed competitor lists localized by country and language. It is ideal for SEO audits, competitive benchmarking, and market entry research where quantitative overlap data matters.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country/language pair rejected before payment is charged
- IP address or port-based domains are rejected
- Domain not found in DataForSEO index returns empty competitors list
- Invalid location_code returns an error
- Malformed domain input exceeding 300 characters is rejected
- DataForSEO upstream unavailability causes 5xx errors
