## 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 alpaca-trade-history-via-claw402-x402-payment-gateway-7faa071b
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Alpaca trade history without setting up an Alpaca API key or account, and you are comfortable paying $0.002 USDC per call via a crypto wallet. Ideal for AI agents operating in a wallet-native environment using the x402 payment protocol. Prefer over direct Alpaca API when keyless, registration-free access is desired.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or unsupported symbol — returns empty data array
- Malformed date strings for start/end parameters — may return error or empty results
- Upstream Alpaca API unavailability — propagated error
- Limit parameter out of acceptable range — may be clamped or rejected
