## 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-tracks-8cd7098f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top tracks by Radiohead according to Last.fm? Pull from StableMusic so I get the most-played songs ranked by popularity.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to surface the most popular or definitive tracks for a known artist, especially when building music recommendation features, playlists, or artist profile pages. Prefer this over general search endpoints when the artist identity is already known and you need ranked track data.

## Known failure modes

- Artist name not found or misspelled — returns empty results or error
- Network timeout from upstream Last.fm API
- Payment not processed — 402 response if USDC payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate limiting if too many simultaneous requests
- Ambiguous artist name matches wrong artist
