## 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 shopify-agent-data-trending-categories-7d47e564 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: What product categories are trending right now across Shopify stores? I want to see which niches have had the most recent catalog activity so I can figure out where to focus my inventory.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, ranked view of which Shopify product categories are currently most active — ideal for trend spotting, inventory planning, or competitive analysis across the Shopify ecosystem. Prefer over manual scraping or broader market trend APIs when Shopify-specific, catalog-level granularity is required.

## Known failure modes

- No data available if catalog activity index is empty or stale
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if x402 micropayment not processed
- Service unavailable if data pipeline is down
