## 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 analyst-ratings-short-interest-52fe80bd
```

Example prompt: Pull the full analyst sentiment picture for NVDA — recommendation trend, consensus price target, any recent upgrades or downgrades by firm, and whether short interest has been rising or falling month-over-month.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a unified view of both analyst sentiment and short interest for a US stock in a single call — especially useful when assessing squeeze risk (rising short interest into price weakness) alongside analyst consensus. Prefer over general analyst APIs that don't include short interest, or over separate short-interest data feeds that lack analyst recommendation trends.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ticker symbol returns an error or empty data
- Ticker for a non-US stock may not be supported
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or upstream Yahoo Finance data unavailability causing 503 or timeout
- Delisted or OTC ticker symbols may return incomplete data

## How this service works

Analyst sentiment and short interest for a US stock in one call: recommendation trend, consensus price targets, recent upgrades/downgrades by firm, and short interest with month-over-month change -- rising short interest into price weakness is a classic bearish/squeeze-risk signal most analyst-ratings APIs don't include. From real Yahoo Finance data. $0.005/call.

## Output

A JSON object containing: analyst recommendation trend (buy/hold/sell breakdown over time), consensus and individual price targets, a list of recent upgrades and downgrades with the brokerage firm name and date, current short interest figures, and the month-over-month change in short interest to flag potential bearish pressure or squeeze risk.
