## 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-wikipedia-trending-articles-9322bfb2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What were the top 20 most-read Wikipedia articles in English yesterday? I want to get a sense of what people are googling and what's happening in the news right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, human-interest signal of what topics are currently capturing public attention globally or in a specific language community. It is ideal over raw Wikimedia API calls because it pre-filters technical/maintenance pages, ranks results, and wraps everything in a clean JSON response. Prefer this when building trend-monitoring agents, news digest systems, content recommendation engines, or any workflow that needs a quick pulse on collective curiosity without parsing raw Wikimedia data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format (non-YYYY-MM-DD) may return an error or empty result
- Unsupported language code may return no articles or an error
- Requesting a future date will likely return no data as pageview stats aren't available yet
- Very recent dates (same day) may have incomplete data if stats haven't been published
- Network or upstream Wikimedia API downtime could cause failures
- Extremely high limit values may be capped or slow the response

## How this service works

Most read Wikipedia articles in a language on a given day (yesterday by default): what people are looking up, with views and rank, technical pages removed. A signal of current events and trends.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the target date, language, and source, plus an array of article objects each with: article title, rank (position in the top list), view count, and a direct link to the Wikipedia article. Technical and maintenance pages are pre-filtered out, leaving only substantive content articles.
