## 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 kihustle-topical-authority-scorer-83a2c1e7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Score the topical authority of my site for the topic 'AI side hustles', using coverage terms like 'passive income', 'automation tools', and 'ChatGPT workflows', and tell me how it rates given I have 12 supporting pages.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a programmatic, quantified assessment of a website's topical authority for SEO or content strategy purposes — particularly for niche topics like AI, automation, or side hustles. It is well-suited for agents automating content audits or planning topic clusters, where a quick computed score per topic is needed rather than a full backlink or domain authority analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' field returns validation error
- Empty or malformed 'coverage_terms' array may produce unreliable scores
- Non-integer value for 'supporting_pages' causes schema rejection
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Vague or very short topic strings may yield low-confidence results
