## How to call it through Zero

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need automated, evidence-based competitor discovery for a specific company domain without manual research. It is best suited for quickly populating competitive intelligence in reports, pitch decks, or sales tooling. Prefer this over general web search when you want structured, deduplicated competitor output grounded in both landing page analysis and web evidence for a given domain.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or unreachable — no landing page content to analyze
- Ambiguous or very niche domain may yield low-confidence or no competitors
- numCompetitors parameter ignored if outside expected range
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol
- Web search evidence unavailable for obscure markets
