## 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 keyword-metrics-google-ads-search-volume-cpc-e511782c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull Google Ads metrics for these keywords: 'running shoes', 'trail running shoes', and 'best running shoes for men' — I need search volume, CPC, competition level, and the 12-month monthly trend for each, in the US market in English?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative Google Ads search volume data with CPC and competition metrics for up to 1000 keywords in a single call. It is ideal for PPC planning, SEO prioritization, or content strategy where accurate monthly search trends and bid estimates are required. Prefer this over Google Trends (which gives relative interest, not absolute volume) and over Keyword Difficulty (which focuses on SEO difficulty, not ad metrics). Use this when you need both paid and organic demand signals together.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country/language pair — refused before payment is charged
- Keywords array empty or exceeds 1000 items — validation error
- Individual keyword exceeds 80 characters or 10 words — rejected
- No data available for an obscure keyword — item returned with null/zero values
- Invalid location_code format — schema validation error
- Network timeout for very large batches near the 1000-keyword limit
