## 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 wikipedia-edit-activity-protection-status-9d408cfe
```

Example prompt: Can you check how contested the Wikipedia article on 'Ivermectin' is — I want to know the daily edit rate over the last 30 days and whether it has any edit protection?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quantitative signal of how actively contested or disputed a Wikipedia topic is, specifically via edit frequency and protection metadata. It is the right choice for fact-checking pipelines assessing source reliability, media monitoring tools tracking narrative volatility, or research workflows that need to flag politically or scientifically contentious topics. Prefer over the page-views endpoint when the question is about editorial conflict rather than public interest.

## Known failure modes

- Article not found on Wikipedia returns null or empty data
- Misspelled article title yields no results
- Unsupported language code may fall back to English or return empty
- Rate limiting or upstream Wikimedia API unavailability causes degraded flag to be set
- Very new or very low-traffic articles may show zero edits with minimal metadata

## How this service works

Edits per day on a Wikipedia article over 30 days, with protection status: a signal of how contested the topic is.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: daily array of {date, edits} for the past 30 days, total edits in that window, average edits per day, the busiest day, the article's edit protection level, a human-readable verdict on how contested the topic is, supporting reasons, a summary, the article title and language, last revision ID, article length in bytes, source URL, and optional degraded/disclaimer flags.
