## 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 weblens-market-intelligence-api-f1e9aa00 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a market intelligence report on the AI agents space — I want to know the market size, growth rate, key players like Anthropic and OpenAI, major trends, and what you'd recommend we focus on strategically?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, structured, AI-synthesized market report with quantitative signals (market size, growth rate) and strategic recommendations — especially when you don't have time to manually aggregate sources. Prefer it over raw web scraping endpoints when you want opinionated, analyst-style output rather than raw extracted data. Best for board briefings, investment memos, or competitive landscape snapshots on a named topic.

## Known failure modes

- Topic too vague or ambiguous — may return low-confidence or generic output
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — request rejected before processing
- Rate limiting if too many fresh (non-cached) calls are made in succession
- Topic outside the model's knowledge cutoff — data may be stale or incomplete
- Server-side generation timeout for highly complex or broad topics

## How this service works

# WebLens - Web Intelligence API, pay per call

Scrape, crawl, map and extract the web. No account, no API key, no monthly
minimum — you pay for the calls you make and nothing else.

## Pricing
Page fetching starts at **$0.002**, whole-site crawling at
**$0.0015/page**, and sitemap discovery at **$0.004**.
Comparable services bill $0.007-0.008 per request, or reach a lower per-page
rate only on a $99/month commitment. WebLens has no commitment to reach.

## Payment Protocol
All paid endpoints use the [x402 protocol](https://x402.org) for HTTP-native
micropayments (USDC on Base).

## Cache Discount
Cached responses are **70% cheaper** than fresh fetches.

## Output

A structured JSON report containing: an executive summary, estimated market size, CAGR growth rate, a list of key market trends, a list of key players (companies/organizations), strategic recommendations, and a unique request ID for tracking the call.
