## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-bc86286e
```

Example prompt: What's the current price and market cap of Solana in USD right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time cryptocurrency price and market cap data for any of 10,000+ coins in one or more fiat currencies. Prefer this over building a direct CoinGecko integration when you need a quick, pay-per-call lookup without managing API keys or rate limits.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown coin symbol or name — returns error if the coin parameter does not match a CoinGecko-recognized identifier
- Unsupported fiat currency in vs_currencies — may return empty or error if the currency code is invalid
- Rate limiting or CoinGecko API downtime — may return 5xx or timeout
- Missing required 'coin' query parameter — returns validation error
