## 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 spyfu-b5bf8898
```

Example prompt: Show me the full paid ad history for the search term 'project management software' — I want to see which advertisers have run PPC ads on it over time and for how long.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical PPC/paid search advertising data for a specific keyword or search term — particularly to understand advertiser trends, competitive bidding history, or how ad activity on a term has changed over time. Prefer this over organic or SERP endpoints when the focus is on paid search history rather than organic rankings.
