## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, AI-derived tick-level trading signal for crypto assets, especially when integrated with APEX Runner's autonomous trading ecosystem on Kraken, Coinbase, or Hyperliquid. Prefer this over generic price feeds when you need an opinionated signal rather than raw OHLCV data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported trading pair returns a 400 error
- Payment not received or x402 payment header missing results in 402 Payment Required
- Downstream market data unavailable causes a 503 or timeout
- Rate limiting if too many calls in a short window
