## 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-social-intel-spotify-artist-data-1a5d8e34 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the Spotify artist profile for Bad Bunny — I want their follower count, monthly listeners, genres, and top tracks.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured Spotify artist data — followers, listeners, genres, popularity — without managing Spotify API credentials yourself, and you're operating in an EVM/x402 payment context on Base mainnet. Prefer this over direct Spotify API calls when you want pay-per-use billing with no OAuth setup.

## Known failure modes

- Artist not found on Spotify — returns empty result or 404-equivalent
- Invalid or unrecognized artist name/ID input
- Payment not settled on Base mainnet — request blocked
- Rate limit or upstream Spotify data unavailability — returns error
- Ambiguous artist name matching wrong artist
