## 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 sitecheck-shop-social-avantor-vwr-catalog-search-453f32f9
```

Example prompt: Search the VWR/Avantor US catalog for 'pipette tips' and show me the first 10 results with their catalog numbers, list prices, and stock status.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search or look up scientific laboratory supplies, reagents, or equipment from VWR/Avantor's catalog, particularly when you need anonymous list pricing, stock availability, catalog/article numbers, or product flags (chemical, restricted, discontinued) for US or Canadian markets. Prefer this over manual web scraping of avantorsciences.com or general search engines when you need structured, machine-readable catalog data at low cost.

## Known failure modes

- No products found for obscure or misspelled query (returns empty products array with total 0)
- Rate limiting or upstream Avantor API unavailability returning a 5xx error
- Invalid site parameter (only 'us' and 'ca' are valid)
- Contract/account-specific prices not returned — only anonymous list prices available
- Page number exceeding totalPages returns empty results
- Limit parameter outside 1-50 range may cause an error or be clamped

## How this service works

Avantor / VWR catalog search (US or Canada site): product code, name, short description, VWR catalog and article number, supplier/vendor, list prices per unit of measure (e.g. pack of 6, case of 24) in USD or CAD, stock status, discontinued / restricted / chemical flags and product URL, plus total matches. Anonymous list prices from the API behind avantorsciences.com; contract prices need an account.

## Output

A JSON object containing the search query, page, site, currency, total match count, total pages, source URL, and an array of products each with: product code, base product ID, name, short name, description, catalog number, article number, vendor, vendor catalog numbers, stock status, list prices per unit of measure (with currency), product URL, and boolean flags for chemical, restricted, discontinued, new product, and inquire-for-price status. Also includes a checkedAt timestamp.
