## 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 vextorium-bluesky-following-lookup-f30b5762 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full list of accounts that @jack.bsky.social follows on Bluesky, up to 50 results — I want their handles, names, and bios?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, enriched following data from a Bluesky profile — including bios, display names, and profile URLs — rather than just a raw list of handles. It is ideal for social graph analysis, influencer research, and audience mapping on the AT Protocol / Bluesky network. Prefer it over direct AT Protocol calls when you want a clean, ready-to-use JSON response without handling raw protocol complexity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Bluesky handle returns an error or empty results
- Rate limiting from the upstream AT Protocol / Bluesky public API
- Limit parameter exceeding the maximum allowed returns a partial or capped list
- Private or suspended accounts may return no following data
- Network timeout if the Bluesky API is slow or unavailable
