## 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-earnings-via-locus-x402-b0500bf4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the earnings history for NVDA — I want to see their quarterly EPS actuals versus estimates and any earnings surprises?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured earnings data — EPS actuals, estimates, surprises, and history — for publicly traded US equities, especially in a pay-per-call context without needing a full Alpha Vantage subscription. Prefer it over general market data endpoints when the specific need is fundamental earnings analysis rather than real-time price data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns empty or error data
- Private/delisted companies may have no earnings data available
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Rate limits on the underlying Alpha Vantage API may cause timeouts or empty responses
- Very small-cap or OTC stocks may have incomplete earnings records
