Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate or reference the official Google Play Store category taxonomy — for example, before fetching apps by category, building a category browser, or validating a category name or ID. Prefer this over hardcoding category lists since it reflects the live taxonomy.

## Known failure modes

- Service temporarily unavailable (5xx error)
- Payment required but not fulfilled (402 error)
- No categories returned if Play Store taxonomy changes
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded
