## 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 alpha-vantage-cash-flow-via-locus-x402-a143d85c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the cash flow statement for Apple — ticker AAPL — so I can check their free cash flow and capital expenditures.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured cash flow statement data for a publicly traded US or global company and want pay-per-use access without a subscription. Prefer this over direct Alpha Vantage API access when you need USDC micropayment-based billing via the x402 protocol. Best suited for fundamental analysis, DCF modeling, and financial screening workflows where cash flow figures are the primary input.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns empty or error data object
- Missing required 'symbol' parameter causes request failure
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents API call from completing
- Rate limiting or upstream Alpha Vantage quota exhaustion may return error
- Delisted or OTC-only tickers may return no data
