## 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 gocreative-vscode-extension-scraper-84568d91
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the VSCode marketplace data for the extension 'ms-python.python' — I want to see its description, publisher, install count, and latest version using GoCreative's scrape endpoint?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve VSCode extension metadata or marketplace data without maintaining your own scraper infrastructure, and you are set up for pay-per-call USDC micropayments via x402 on Base. Prefer this over building a custom scraper when you need quick, no-signup access to VSCode extension information.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent extension identifier returns empty or error response
- VSCode Marketplace page structure changes may break scrape parsing
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 response and no data returned
- Missing required 'input' query parameter returns 400 Bad Request
- Rate limiting or blocking by VSCode Marketplace may cause timeouts or incomplete data

## How this service works

Keyless, pay-per-call compliance & regulated-data API for AI agents — OFAC wallet + sanctions/PEP + KYB screening, SEC filings, FRED economics, FDA recalls, federal awards, plus continuous monitoring. USDC on Base/Solana via x402, native MCP. No API key, no signup.

## Output

Returns scraped content from the VSCode Marketplace or extension registry for the given extension identifier argument, including metadata such as extension name, publisher, version, description, and statistics as available on the page.
