## 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 24k-labs-crypto-price-api-d8e2d6a8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current price of Bitcoin in USD?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call USD price lookup for a specific cryptocurrency within an x402-enabled agent workflow, especially when you want a low-cost ($0.003 USDC) single-call price check without subscribing to a full market data API.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported coin identifier returns an error or empty result
- Network timeout or upstream price feed outage
- Malformed POST body missing required coin parameter
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol
