## 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 stablemusic-artist-top-tags-3b642ded -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top Last.fm tags for Radiohead? Give me the top 20 tags and correct any spelling mistakes automatically.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to understand how an artist is categorized or described by Last.fm's user community via folksonomy tags, useful for genre discovery, music recommendation context, or enriching artist metadata. Prefer this over a general music search when you specifically need tag/genre classification for a known artist.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled artist name returns empty results or error (autocorrect can mitigate misspellings)
- Limit out of range (1-100) returns validation error
- Page number exceeding available results returns empty list
- Last.fm upstream API unavailable causes request failure
- Missing required 'artist' field returns 400-level error

## How this service works

Pay-per-request Last.fm music discovery for tags, tracks, artists, albums, charts, and country charts.

## Output

A ranked list of tags (e.g. genre labels, mood descriptors, era tags) that Last.fm users have applied to the specified artist, including tag names and counts, optionally with the raw Last.fm API response payload.
