## 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 gapup-ftg-opportunity-scout-0729d654 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find me the top 15 countries to export rice to, ranked by demand, margin, and feasibility?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need scored, ranked trade opportunity analysis across multiple countries for a specific commodity — particularly for agricultural or bulk goods. Ideal for supply chain planning, market entry decisions, or commodity export strategy. Prefer over generic market research tools when you need structured demand/margin/feasibility scores per country rather than narrative reports.

## Known failure modes

- Commodity name too short or unrecognized — returns validation error
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–50) — returns error
- Slow analysis may time out on synchronous calls — use async:true and poll with job_result for large country sets
- Unknown or unsupported commodity may return empty results
- Service unavailable or payment failure returns 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works

Trade opportunity scoring, returns ranked import/export opportunities with demand, margin and feasibility scores

## Output

Returns a ranked list of up to 50 countries with trade opportunity scores for the specified commodity, including demand score, margin score, and feasibility score per country, ordered by overall opportunity ranking.
