# Apiosk Gateway – Alpha Vantage Execute

> Apiosk Gateway – Alpha Vantage Execute is a paid API for AI agents from gateway.apiosk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.06/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Executes Alpha Vantage financial market data API calls via a pay-per-call x402/USDC gateway, forwarding operations and JSON payloads to Alpha Vantage and returning the upstream response.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 apiosk-gateway-alpha-vantage-execute-acb50b6d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the intraday 5-minute OHLCV time series for AAPL from Alpha Vantage — use the TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY operation with interval=5min and outputsize=compact.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to access Alpha Vantage financial market data (stocks, forex, crypto, technical indicators) and want to pay per call in USDC via the x402 protocol without managing API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal for agents that need on-demand financial data with micropayment billing rather than a fixed subscription plan.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported operation selector returns an error status
- Malformed JSON in the input payload causes upstream rejection
- Alpha Vantage API rate limit exceeded returns upstream 429 or error message
- Unknown ticker symbol returns empty or error result from upstream
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure prevents call execution
- Alpha Vantage service downtime causes non-200 upstream_status

## How this service works

Pay-per-call API gateway on the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 + USDC on Base). This document covers the gateway's discovery and execution meta-endpoints. Individual provider APIs are reachable at /{api_slug}/{path} and described by GET /{api_slug}/metadata.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a status string, the upstream Alpha Vantage response body in the 'result' field, the operation name, API slug, cost string, latency in milliseconds, and the upstream HTTP status code.
