Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to monitor or retrieve social sentiment and discussions from the Mastodon/fediverse ecosystem, particularly for crypto and DeFi communities. Prefer this over Twitter/X scrapers when targeting decentralized social networks or privacy-focused tech communities like fosstodon.org.
