## 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 linkdepot-article-publishing-web-directory-submission-c658cbe1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Publish an article to LinkDepot's directory network for my site mybrand.com — the headline is 'Top 10 Cloud Security Best Practices for 2025', the canonical URL is https://mybrand.com/cloud-security-tips, and here's the HTML body: '<p>Cloud security has never been more critical...</p>' (at least 300 words, no inline styles).

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to create a verified web directory listing or business citation with a canonical backlink for SEO or referral traffic purposes, especially when content syndication across a curated multi-domain network is desired and a small per-submission cost ($1 USDC) is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Content under 300 words returns a validation error
- Inline style attributes in HTML body cause rejection
- Title under 10 characters is rejected
- Invalid or unreachable canonical URL may fail validation
- Target domain not in the 101-domain network returns an error
- Payment of 1 USDC not processed results in 402 response
