## 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 agents-openwebninja-com-currency-exchange-rate-988cf51d
```

Example prompt: What is the current exchange rate from USD to EUR? Give me the live rate and also tell me what the previous close was.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a real-time or near-real-time exchange rate between two specific currencies (fiat or crypto) and also want the previous closing rate for context. It is ideal for single-pair lookups with minimal latency. Prefer this over batch converters when you need live data with update timestamps rather than static or historical rates.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid currency symbol (non-ISO 4217 code) returns an error or empty data
- Unsupported currency pair may return no exchange rate
- Rate data may be slightly delayed during off-market hours for forex
- Network or upstream API unavailability returns a non-200 status
