## 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 stack-overflow-intelligence-search-efc623ad
```

Example prompt: Search Stack Overflow for 'Python asyncio RuntimeError: no running event loop' — show me the top 5 results sorted by votes, only ones with accepted answers, tagged with python and asyncio.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to resolve a specific programming error, find community-vetted code solutions, or retrieve technical Q&A from Stack Overflow without needing a full web scrape. Ideal for debugging workflows where the error message or library name is known. Prefer over generic web search when you want structured, ranked developer content with vote signals.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or overly narrow query — returns empty list
- Invalid sort enum value causes schema validation error
- Tags parameter malformed (must be semicolon-separated) causes no tag filtering
- Query too vague returns irrelevant or low-quality results
- Rate limit or upstream Stack Overflow API unavailability causes 5xx error
- Payment failure over x402 protocol prevents access to results

## How this service works

Stack Overflow question search. Returns top-scored questions matching the query with answer counts, accepted-answer status, tags, and body excerpts. Filter by tags (comma-separated). Sort by votes, relevance, activity, or creation date. Useful for developer agents debugging errors or researching library patterns.

## Output

Returns up to 10 Stack Overflow questions matching the query, each with title, vote score, accepted answer status, tags, and link — sorted by the requested order (votes, relevance, activity, or creation). Only accepted-answer questions if that flag is set.
