## 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-runner-liquidation-magnet-signal-a92746b1
```

Example prompt: What are the nearest liquidation magnet price levels right now — give me the closest significant liquidation cluster above and below current price, and tell me which side is nearer?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify the nearest price levels where large clusters of leveraged positions will be forcibly liquidated, creating potential price magnets or cascade effects. Prefer this over generic order book endpoints when specifically looking for liquidation-driven price targets rather than support/resistance based on volume. Useful for timing entries/exits around anticipated liquidation cascades in crypto derivatives markets.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient market data may result in null or missing price levels
- API payment failure (402) if USDC payment not processed
- Rate limiting if called too frequently
- Stale data if market is moving extremely fast
- Service unavailability during exchange maintenance windows

## How this service works

APEX Runner: Liquidation Magnet Signal

## Output

Returns a JSON object with three fields: 'above' (float price level of the nearest significant liquidation cluster above current price), 'below' (float price level of the nearest significant liquidation cluster below current price), and 'nearest_side' (string indicating whether 'above' or 'below' cluster is closer to current price). Example: {above: 65000, below: 61500, nearest_side: 'below'}.
