## 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 x402-market-benchmark-route-pricing-analysis-0900e562
```

Example prompt: Benchmark the pricing on my x402 routes — I have three routes: route-A priced at '0.005', route-B at '0.010', and route-C at '0.002', all tagged with 'data' and 'api'. Tell me which is lowest, which is highest, what the median is, and whether my prices are competitive.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need deterministic, route-level pricing benchmarks for x402 monetized API routes. Prefer this over generic pricing tools when you need structured JSON output comparing multiple routes by price, including market bands and actionable recommendations specific to the x402 ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (id, price, or tags) on any route object returns a validation error
- Empty routes array may return an error or empty benchmark result
- Malformed price strings (non-numeric) may cause computation errors
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) prevents endpoint access
- Single-route submission may return limited benchmark insights due to insufficient data

## How this service works

Operational x402 seller tools for market benchmark, buyer shortlist, seller action plan, directory rank tracker, quote inspector, competitor listing audit, directory submission kit, price band advice, and buyer intent scoring workflows.

## Output

Returns deterministic JSON containing route-level pricing comparison results: the lowest-priced and highest-priced routes, the median price across submitted routes, market band segmentation, and pricing recommendations for each route.
