## 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-d2288d6a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top 20 Last.fm tags associated with Radiohead? Use autocorrect in case I've spelled it wrong.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover how the Last.fm community categorizes or describes an artist via user-applied tags (genres, moods, descriptors). Ideal for music recommendation workflows, genre classification, or enriching artist metadata. Prefer this over artist bio or similar-artists endpoints when you specifically want folksonomy/tag-based metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Artist name not found on Last.fm — returns empty tag list or error
- Misspelled artist name with autocorrect disabled — no results returned
- Limit exceeds maximum of 100 — validation error
- Page number out of range — empty result set
- Last.fm upstream service unavailable — propagated error response
- Payment not processed (x402) — request rejected before reaching Last.fm

## 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 tags that Last.fm users have applied to the specified artist, typically including tag name, tag count/weight, and a URL to the tag page on Last.fm. Supports pagination for retrieving additional tags beyond the first page.
