## 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 exepal-creator-vetting-api-aa4a93f5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you vet the TikTok creator handle 'fashionwithrita' for me? I want to know if she's brand-safe and authentic before we move forward with a sponsorship deal.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call creator vetting decision without committing to an influencer marketing SaaS subscription. Ideal for agents running one-off or low-volume creator checks on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, especially when no API keys or account setup is desired. Prefer this over manual review or full influencer platforms when speed and cost-per-call economics matter.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found on the specified platform — returns error or empty result
- Platform not supported beyond instagram/tiktok/youtube enum values — schema validation error
- Payment not completed via x402/USDC on Base — 402 response blocking access
- Rate limiting or upstream social platform data unavailability
- Stale or incomplete profile data if no optional profile stats provided

## How this service works

Paid single-purpose tools for AI agents: AI brand visibility, creator vetting, company enrichment, ad creative scoring, SERP + AI answer monitoring. Pay per call in USDC on Base via x402. No accounts or API keys.

## Output

A vetting report for the specified creator including brand safety signals, authenticity indicators, audience quality assessments, and an overall score or risk classification to inform partnership decisions.
