## 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-get-top-tags-for-artist-9348ce46 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top Last.fm tags for Radiohead — show me up to 20 of them and autocorrect the name if needed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover how the Last.fm community categorizes or describes a specific artist via tags — useful for genre detection, mood labeling, recommendation enrichment, or music metadata pipelines. Prefer this over general music search endpoints when you specifically want crowd-sourced descriptive tags for a known artist.

## Known failure modes

- Artist not found on Last.fm returns empty or error response
- Misspelled artist name without autocorrect enabled returns no results
- artist field missing causes 400 validation error
- limit out of range (>100 or <1) causes validation error
- page number out of valid range causes validation error
- Last.fm upstream unavailability causes 502 or timeout

## How this service works

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

## Output

A list of top listener-applied tags for the specified artist from Last.fm, including tag names, tag counts/weights, and tag URLs. May optionally include the raw Last.fm API response payload.
