## 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 does-site-use-goatcounter-5f8adb84
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether example.com has GoatCounter analytics installed? I want to know if they're using it and see any evidence found on the page.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to confirm GoatCounter specifically — not just any analytics tool — on a single domain, such as for technographic sales intelligence, migration validation, or competitor research. Prefer the bulk sibling endpoints when checking multiple domains at once. Choose this over generic scraping tools when you need structured yes/no answers with evidence snippets rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Site is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — endpoint may return no evidence and a 'no' result
- Dynamically loaded GoatCounter scripts (via JavaScript bundles) may not be detected since only static HTML and headers are scanned
- Sites behind bot-protection or CAPTCHAs may block the fetch, leading to false negatives
- Very new or highly customized GoatCounter deployments may not match known fingerprints

## How this service works

Does a website use GoatCounter? Fetches the page (homepage for a bare domain) and matches GoatCounter's fingerprints in the HTML and response headers, returning yes/no with the evidence snippet and the category (analytics). Technographics for sales, competitor research and migration planning, one technology per call. $0.01 per check.

## Output

Returns a yes/no boolean indicating whether GoatCounter is detected on the site, along with an evidence snippet (the matching HTML or header content that triggered the fingerprint match) and the technology category label ('analytics').
