## 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 nft-collection-search-scam-check-owners-d1cbe4b2
```

Example prompt: Search for NFT collections named 'Bored Ape' on Ethereum and give me the top matching contract addresses along with links to check them for scams and see their owners.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover NFT contract addresses by human-readable collection name on a specific chain, especially as a first step before running scam checks or ownership lookups. It acts as a live search gateway into the broader NFT Insight suite of endpoints. Prefer this over hard-coding contract addresses when you don't already know the exact contract.

## Known failure modes

- No collections found matching the query — returns empty result set
- Invalid or unsupported chain identifier — returns error response
- Query too vague or too short — may return unrelated or too many results
- Network/upstream timeout — live data fetch may fail transiently
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before response is returned

## How this service works

Collection search by name — top ~10 matching contracts with links into every other endpoint; ALWAYS live

## Output

Returns up to ~10 NFT collections matching the search query, each with their contract address, collection name, chain, and deep links into scam-check and ownership-lookup endpoints for further analysis — always served live (no cached stale data).
