## 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 strale-competitor-snapshot-c87d6e39 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a competitor snapshot on Notion — their URL is https://notion.so and their social handle is @NotionHQ — I want to see their full online presence and competitive profile?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, structured competitive intelligence snapshot on a specific brand using their URL and optionally their social handle. It is ideal for sales teams building battlecards, market researchers profiling competitors, or product teams benchmarking rivals, especially when you need a tamper-evident audit trail on the data retrieved. Prefer this over manual web scraping or general search when you need structured output with cryptographic provenance across 27 countries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable competitor_url returns a URL validation error
- Private or restricted social profiles may return incomplete social data
- Unknown or very small brands may yield sparse snapshot results
- Missing competitor_url (required field) returns a 400 bad request
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment results in no data returned
- Rate limiting or throttling if called in rapid succession
