## 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 faro-pricing-machine-readability-check-90151455 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether https://example-store.com has machine-readable pricing that I can use for automated procurement — specifically whether it has Offer schema with price and availability?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a focused, single-signal answer about pricing machine-readability specifically — rather than a full 47-check AI-readiness audit. Ideal for procurement agents, price comparison workflows, or supplier onboarding pipelines where pricing accessibility is the gating criterion. Cheaper and faster than a full site audit when only the pricing dimension matters.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — check may fail or return indeterminate result
- Website uses JavaScript-only rendering and prices are not in static HTML — may report no Offer schema even if pricing exists
- URL points to a non-product/non-pricing page — checks may return false negatives
- Malformed or missing URL input — API returns validation error
- Rate limiting or bot-blocking on the target site — scan may be incomplete

## How this service works

Single-signal check: is this website's pricing machine-readable for AI agents? Detects Offer schema with price/availability and pricing-transparency signals. Returns yes/no plus underlying checks and fixes. Useful for procurement and comparison agents.

## Output

Returns a yes/no verdict on whether the website's pricing is machine-readable for AI agents, along with the results of individual underlying checks (Offer schema presence, price field, availability field, pricing-transparency signals) and suggested fixes for any failed checks.
