## 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 idealo-price-comparison-scraper-x402-b93cc1d2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Idealo Germany for 'Sony WH-1000XM5' headphones and give me all merchant offers — up to 50 offers per product, capped at 100 results total.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured merchant offer data from Idealo's European price-comparison platform, especially for German, Austrian, French, Spanish, Italian, or UK markets. It supports flexible lookup modes (by term, GTIN, product ID, or URL) and only charges on successful, non-empty results — making it safe for exploratory queries. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you need Idealo-specific structured fields like merchant offers, localized prices, and product identifiers.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized product ID returns empty items array (not charged)
- GTIN not found on the selected marketplace returns zero results (not charged)
- Unsupported country code causes validation error
- Network or scraping failure on Idealo's side returns error status (not charged)
- maxItems set to a very low value may truncate results unexpectedly
- URL-based lookup fails if the product URL is not a valid Idealo product page

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count and an array of items, each containing fields such as productId, productName, productUrl, country, operation, recordType, status, and query. Each item represents a matched product or merchant offer from Idealo's marketplace.
