## 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 acoda-observed-liquidation-map-3676ca1c
```

Example prompt: Pull me the liquidation heatmap for BTC-USDT-PERP on Hyperliquid with a 10% price range and 40 buckets so I can see where the long and short exposure clusters are sitting right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI trading agent needs structured, price-bucketed liquidation exposure data for major crypto perpetual markets — specifically BTC, ETH, or SOL on Hyperliquid. It is uniquely valuable when you need to identify where forced liquidations are likely to cluster at specific price levels, combining both CEX-observed liquidation events and on-chain position data. Prefer this over generic order book or funding rate APIs when the specific goal is cascade risk analysis, liquidation-driven momentum anticipation, or pre-trade leverage concentration screening.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported market symbol returns validation error — only BTC-USDT-PERP, ETH-USDT-PERP, SOL-USDT-PERP are valid
- Missing or malformed query parameters may return default behavior or a 400 error
- Coverage is explicitly a sampled lower bound — incomplete data is expected by design and flagged in the response
- Payment not processed (402) if x402 payment header is missing or USDC balance is insufficient
- Data may lag real-time conditions slightly due to on-chain data indexing latency
- Hyperliquid data unavailability could result in empty or stale position data

## How this service works

Measured liquidation intelligence combining observed CEX liquidation events with position-level data from Hyperliquid, the largest transparent perp venue. A pay-per-call JSON API for AI trading agents.

## Output

A JSON object containing an array of price bucket cells, each with a price range (low/high), long and short notional USD at risk, position count, and a normalized liquidation intensity score. Also includes the current mark price, full price axis metadata (min, max, bucket count, bucket width), the market queried, a coverage note indicating this is a sampled lower bound from observed data, and a source field confirming 'observed' methodology.
