## 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-taboola-4d9bc596
```

Example prompt: Can you check if nytimes.com uses Taboola — I want to know if they're running Taboola ads on their homepage and see whatever evidence you find?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.01) single-domain check specifically for Taboola presence — ideal for sales prospecting, competitor analysis, or pre-migration audits where you need evidence-backed yes/no detection rather than a full technology audit. Prefer the bulk sibling endpoint if checking more than one domain at a time.

## Known failure modes

- Site is unreachable or returns a non-200 status, resulting in an indeterminate or error response
- Site uses client-side JavaScript rendering that obscures Taboola fingerprints from server-side HTML fetching
- Taboola fingerprint patterns may not match obfuscated or custom integrations, producing false negatives
- Rate limiting or bot protection on the target site may block the fetch
- Bare domain redirect chains may cause timeouts or incorrect page fetches

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a yes/no boolean indicating whether Taboola was detected on the site, along with an evidence snippet (the matching HTML fragment or header value that triggered the detection) and the technology category label ('advertising').
