Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability shopify-agent-data-bulk-categories-f08910c4 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Pull the top Shopify product categories ranked by recent catalog activity — I want to see which categories are being updated most actively across stores right now so I can spot emerging trends.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need bulk category-level trend data across multiple Shopify stores rather than searching for specific products. Ideal for market research agents, competitive intelligence workflows, or trend-spotting applications that need to understand which product verticals are most active on Shopify at a given moment.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or invalid x402 payment header — returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed POST body — returns 400 Bad Request
- No recent catalog activity data available — returns empty or sparse results
- Downstream Shopify store indexing delay — stale data returned
- Rate limiting if too many requests in short succession

## How this service works

## Output

A ranked list of Shopify product categories ordered by recent catalog activity, including trend signals and category metadata sourced from live Shopify store data across the indexed network.
