## 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 scope-research-api-ecommerce-research-859f5185 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you research the ecommerce store Gymshark — find out what they sell, their pricing range, and any notable promotions they're running right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need sourced, structured research on a specific ecommerce store or online retailer — particularly when you want cited web intelligence rather than a raw scrape. Prefer this over generic search APIs when the task is specifically about understanding a store's product catalog, pricing, or positioning, and you need the result to be agent-ready and structured.

## Known failure modes

- Store name not found or too ambiguous — returns limited or empty results
- URL is unreachable or blocked — research falls back to indexed web data only
- Focus parameter too broad or vague — output may be less targeted
- Payment failure via x402 — request is rejected before processing
- Rate limiting or worker timeout — may return partial results for large stores
