Example prompt: What's the current APEX FG Micro signal — give me the signal value, whether it's backed by live trades, and how many trades are supporting it right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, micro-level Fear & Greed trading signal with full provenance metadata (source, version, hash, live trading status). Prefer this over macro or bundle signals when you need a fast, lightweight single signal focused specifically on micro-level sentiment, and when you want to verify signal integrity via the included hash and verification URL.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable or rate-limited (HTTP 402 payment required if USDC payment not supplied)
- Empty or stale signal if no live trades are backing it
- Signal hash mismatch indicating data integrity issue
- Invalid response if the endpoint version has changed
