## 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 serp402-google-ads-scraper-0aa16704 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the sponsored Google search results for 'best project management software' in English, desktop view, with safe search off — I want to see which companies are running paid ads for that term.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Google-sponsored/paid ad results specifically (not organic results), want structured JSON output without managing a Google API key or account, need per-call pricing with no subscription commitment, and want to pay via USDC. Ideal for competitive ad intelligence, keyword research, and monitoring advertiser activity. Prefer over standard Google Search APIs when you want higher call rates or ad-specific data extraction.

## Known failure modes

- Query parameter missing — returns error if 'q' is not provided
- Google may return no ads for low-competition or non-commercial queries, resulting in an empty ads array
- Location string not recognized — API may fall back to a default or return an error
- Rate limiting or scraping blocks from Google may cause intermittent failures or empty results
- Invalid language code for 'hl' parameter may default to English or return an error
- Network timeout if Google's page load is slow
