Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 saylor-innovations-data-desk-dev-community-top-articles-42701c76
```

Example prompt: What are the top DEV Community articles tagged 'ai' from the last 14 days? Give me the titles, authors, reaction counts, and links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need ranked, engagement-weighted DEV Community articles filtered by programming tag and recency — ideal for content curation, trend monitoring, or developer outreach. Prefer it over generic web search when you specifically want dev.to article metadata (reactions, comments, reading time) in structured form rather than raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or misspelled tag returns empty articles array or no results
- 'top' parameter outside 1–365 range may return an error or default to 7 days
- DEV Community API rate limits or downtime causing upstream failures
- Missing required method field returns a validation error
- No articles found for obscure tags in short time windows
