## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-taobao-scraper-8595c0ba -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the Taobao listing at https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=123456789 and pull out the product title, current price, and seller details for me?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract product data from Taobao without maintaining your own scraping infrastructure. Ideal for price monitoring, product sourcing research, or competitive intelligence on the Chinese e-commerce market. Prefer this over general web scraping tools when targeting Taobao specifically, as it is purpose-built for that platform's structure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or expired Taobao URL returns empty or error result
- Taobao rate-limiting or bot detection may cause failed scrape
- Private or deleted listings return no data
- Non-Taobao URLs may not be supported
- Response schema is generic and may not surface all fields explicitly
- Chinese-language content returned as-is without translation
