## 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-token-unlock-signal-feed-172a0100
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest token unlock signal from APEX Runner and tell me which tokens are facing high or critical sell-pressure risk from upcoming unlocks, and when the biggest one hits.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI trading agent or analyst needs to factor token unlock events into a trading strategy, risk assessment, or position sizing decision. Especially useful before entering long positions in tokens like ARB, OP, or other vesting-heavy assets where cliff unlocks cause significant sell pressure.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or expired — 402 response requiring x402 payment
- No upcoming unlocks in the data window — empty upcoming_unlocks array returned
- Service temporarily unavailable — 503 or timeout
- Stale data if unlock schedule source has not refreshed — dates may lag real-time announcements
