## 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 demandex-brief-job-market-bundle-3b2cf9c7
```

Example prompt: Give me the full Demandex market brief right now — trending demand signals, the top 10 open opportunities, and how many opportunities exist per category, filtered to the 'design' category for the opportunities section.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, bundled market overview in a single call rather than making multiple separate requests to /v1/gauge, /v1/opportunities, or /v1/top. At $0.25 USDC it replaces several paid calls and is ideal for agents that need a full market snapshot — trending signals, ranked opportunities, and category counts — at once. Prefer it for dashboards, daily briefings, or any workflow that needs all three data types together.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown category slug returns a 400 error (no charge) listing valid category slugs
- Index still warming: no trending signals or open opportunities returns a no-charge response
- Payment failure or missing x402 payment header results in a 402 response
- Network or server errors return standard 5xx responses

## How this service works

Whole-job market brief for agents. One payment returns current trending demand signals, the top 10 highest-scored open opportunities (optionally filtered by category), and per-category counts — equivalent to several separate paid calls. Pass ?category= to restrict the opportunities section to one category slug (an unknown slug returns a no-charge 400 listing the known categories). While the index is still warming and there are no trending signals and no open opportunities, you get a no-charge 5…

## Output

A bundled JSON response containing: (1) current trending demand signals, (2) top 10 highest-scored open opportunity cards (optionally scoped to one category), and (3) per-category opportunity counts. If the index is still warming and there are no signals or opportunities, a no-charge response is returned. An unknown category slug returns a no-charge 400 error listing all valid category slugs.
