## 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-search-trends-89b92333 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the search trend timeline for 'cloudflare workers' and show me how interest has changed week by week recently?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need time-series search interest data for a specific keyword or topic — useful for market research, content timing, SEO strategy, or tracking brand awareness trends. Prefer this over general web scraping endpoints when you specifically need structured trend/popularity-over-time data rather than raw page content. The caching discount (70% cheaper for cached responses) makes it cost-effective for frequently queried popular terms.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or ambiguous query string returns no timeline data
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
- Query for a very niche term with no search volume may return zero values across all dates
- Network timeout or upstream data source unavailability returns 5xx error
- Invalid request body format returns 400 Bad Request

## 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

Returns a JSON object containing the queried term, a timeline array of weekly date ranges each with a relative interest value (0-100 scale), a request ID for tracing, and a searchedAt timestamp indicating when the data was fetched.
