## 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 stockwaves-china-trending-real-time-chinese-internet-pulse-api-c03b0a53
```

Example prompt: What are the top trending topics right now on Weibo, Baidu, and Douyin? I need the Chinese internet pulse to understand what's driving sentiment in Chinese markets today.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time social and search trend data specifically from Chinese internet platforms (Weibo, Baidu, Douyin) to inform China A-share, Hong Kong, or China-exposed equity analysis. Prefer this over generic news APIs when you need the raw Chinese internet pulse — what ordinary Chinese users are searching and sharing — rather than structured news headlines. Ideal for agents that need no-signup, pay-per-call access via x402 USDC micropayments on Base.

## Known failure modes
