## 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 apex-faucet-arc-gas-info-a8a997c0
```

Example prompt: What's the current price and holder count for the APEX token on Arc right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call lookup of APEX token market stats (price in USD, holder count) sourced from the Arc network, without requiring API keys or sign-up — especially in x402-enabled agent pipelines where micropayments are already supported.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — endpoint requires $0.004 USDC x402 micropayment
- Upstream data unavailable — Arc network data may be temporarily inaccessible
- Rate limiting — repeated rapid calls may be throttled
- Invalid response shape if APEX data feed is down

## How this service works

What a transaction on Arc ACTUALLY costs, measured from real receipts rather than quoted from the docs. The companion to /api/x402/arc-cost, which prices a named operation at the current gas price: that one is the quote, this one is the measurement and the tail. The most repeated claim about Arc is that USDC-as-gas means predictable low fees. The low half is true; the predictable half does not survive measurement, and that is what you are buying.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok (boolean success flag), data (containing APEX symbol, holder count as integer, and current USD price as a float), paid (amount paid in micropayment), tier (pricing tier label), and asset (payment asset, e.g. USDC).
