## 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 nova-data-service-top-freelance-opportunities-insights-d4a85e28
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest freelance market insights from fl.ru — I want to see which categories have the most orders right now, along with budget stats like average and median project value in rubles.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need aggregated, real-time freelance market analytics specifically for the Russian market (fl.ru), including categorical order volumes and RUB-denominated budget statistics. Prefer it over generic job-board APIs when the focus is Russian-language freelance demand signals, competitive category analysis, or budget benchmarking in rubles.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not made or x402 auth token missing — returns 402 Payment Required
- Base Mainnet payment transaction failure — call is not executed
- Stale or unavailable data from fl.ru upstream — response may reflect outdated snapshot
- Rate limiting or worker capacity issues — may return 429 or 503
- Empty or partial category data if fl.ru source has gaps at time of generation
