## 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 hermes-storefront-off-market-seller-leads-api-72078856
```

Example prompt: Pull me motivated seller leads in Hamilton County with a minimum lead score of 70 — I want both tax-delinquent and upcoming sheriff-sale foreclosure types so I can run a direct mail campaign.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need scored, mail-ready off-market seller leads backed by verified public-record distress signals (tax delinquency or sheriff-sale foreclosure) refreshed within 7 days. It is purpose-built for real estate wholesalers, flippers, and buy-and-hold investors doing direct-to-seller outreach. Prefer this over generic MLS or listing feeds when you specifically want distressed, off-market sellers rather than listed properties.

## Known failure modes

- No leads returned for the specified county if no distress signals were verified in the last 7 days
- Invalid county name or unsupported county returns an empty result or error
- min_score value out of 0-100 range causes a validation error
- lead_type filter value not matching expected enum causes a bad request
- Payment of 0.25 USDC not fulfilled triggers a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or server unavailability on the Render.com host may cause timeouts

## How this service works

Scored off-market seller leads, mail-ready: every lead has a street address, a public-record distress signal verified in the last 7 days (county tax delinquency or an upcoming sheriff-sale foreclosure), a 0-100 lead_score with a machine-readable rationale, and the public source URL. For direct-to-seller outreach (wholesale, flip, buy-and-hold). Filters: county, min_score, lead_type. Every field typed; a query that matches nothing returns free — you never pay for a blank.

## Output

A list of off-market seller leads, each containing a street address (mail-ready), a distress signal type (county tax delinquency or sheriff-sale foreclosure) verified within the last 7 days, a 0-100 lead_score with a machine-readable rationale explaining the score, and the public record source URL backing the distress signal.
