## 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-intraday-time-series-via-locus-x402-e86ba08a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the 5-minute intraday price data for AAPL for March 2024, including extended hours and adjusted prices, and give me the full history?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need intraday (sub-daily) stock price data at specific intervals (1min to 60min) for equities, especially when you need pay-per-call micropayment billing via USDC without a subscription. Prefer this over daily endpoints when performing intraday technical analysis, backtesting short-term strategies, or monitoring within-day price movements. Use when you need extended-hours data or adjusted prices for splits/dividends.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns empty or error data
- Unsupported interval value causes a validation error
- Month format not matching YYYY-MM causes a bad request
- Network or upstream Alpha Vantage API outage results in failure response
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure prevents data retrieval
- Requesting 'full' outputsize for obscure tickers may return limited data
