## 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 irish-used-car-market-recent-price-drops-989bc23f
```

Example prompt: Show me Irish used car listings where the price was cut in the last 14 days, with a drop of at least 8%, and return up to 50 results — I want to find motivated sellers.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically want to find Irish used car listings where the price has been actively reduced — signalling seller motivation or urgency. It is distinct from general market valuation or best-value ranking endpoints because it focuses on price-change history rather than absolute price relative to market. Use it for deal-hunting, monitoring market softness, or identifying negotiation targets.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'days' value outside 1–60 range returns a validation error
- Invalid 'limit' value outside 1–500 range returns a validation error
- 'min_drop_pct' set to an unrealistically high threshold may return zero results
- No price-drop listings found in the requested window returns an empty result set
- Payment failure (x402 flow) prevents access to data

## How this service works

Irish used cars whose asking price was recently cut - Use to find motivated sellers: listings whose price dropped within the last N days, with original, previous and current price and the percentage cut. Price history is recorded by us from the first time we see a listing.

## Output

A list of Irish used car listings that have had their asking price reduced within the specified look-back window. Each record includes the listing identifier, car details, the original price when first seen, the previous price, the current price, and the percentage drop. Results can be filtered by minimum drop size and capped at a requested limit.
