## 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 datamuse-word-followers-lookup-19025b02 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What words most commonly follow the word 'blind' in English? I want to see the typical followers like 'spot', 'fold', etc.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find words that typically follow a given word in natural English usage — useful for autocomplete, phrase generation, collocation analysis, writing assistance, or NLP enrichment tasks. Prefer this over a general dictionary API when you specifically need right-side collocations or bigram frequency data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty q parameter returns an error or empty result
- Obscure or misspelled words may return no followers
- Very common stop words may return an overwhelming or noisy list
- Rate limiting or payment failure may result in 402 response
- Non-English words may return no results
