## 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 foodiepedia-israel-grocery-chain-price-comparison-api-c6b43b49
```

Example prompt: Which Israeli supermarket chains are currently the cheapest — show me a breakdown of how each chain compares to the lowest-priced option and what share of products each is cheapest on.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a high-level, aggregate price comparison across Israeli grocery chains — specifically to determine which supermarkets are cheapest overall and by what margin. It is ideal for consumer-facing advice about where to shop in Israel. Prefer this over product-level price lookups when the user wants chain-level benchmarking rather than the price of a specific item.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing chains array if no pricing data is currently available
- n_items returns 0 if the underlying product database has not been populated
- HTTP 402 if payment via x402 protocol is not completed before the request
- Stale pricing data if Israeli supermarket chains have not recently updated their price feeds
- HTTP 500 if the backend price aggregation service is unavailable
