## 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 aiagentoracle-ai-8a336ae7
```

Example prompt: What's the current spot price of BTC in USD right now? Just give me the price and when it was last updated.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the absolute minimal payload for a single token's spot price and are running high-frequency polling loops where bandwidth and latency matter. Ideal for trading bots and monitoring agents that only need the current USD price and a freshness timestamp, without needing full token metadata or historical data.

## Known failure modes

- 404 Not Found: symbol is not tracked by AgentOracle — verify the ticker is a supported on-chain token
- Invalid path param: symbol segment missing from URL path
- Stale data: asOf timestamp may lag real-time market by a short ingestion delay
- Service unavailable: AgentOracle health endpoint may indicate ingestion issues

## How this service works

AgentOracle: latest spot price for a single token by ticker symbol — minimal payload (`{ symbol, priceUsd, asOf }`) optimised for high-frequency polling agents. Case-insensitive symbol; returns 404 for unknown symbols.

## Output

A minimal JSON object containing three fields: the token symbol (e.g. 'BTC'), the current spot price in USD as a number (priceUsd), and an ISO 8601 timestamp (asOf) indicating when the price was recorded. Returns 404 if the symbol is unknown.
