# ArbiPulse Commodity Regional Arbitrage > ArbiPulse Commodity Regional Arbitrage is a paid API for AI agents from arbipulse.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15). Returns cross-regional price differentials for commodities (oil, gas, metals, grains) with transport cost breakdowns to identify profitable arbitrage opportunities ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://arbipulse.vercel.app/api/commodity - Price: $0.1/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-09-15 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/arbipulse-commodity-regional-arbitrage-47918f01 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_bN-Gpd7yNEw-9bAxNC-Pr 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 arbipulse-commodity-regional-arbitrage-47918f01 ``` Example prompt: Show me the cross-regional price differential for crude oil right now — I want to see which two regions have the biggest spread and what the transport cost breakdown looks like so I can judge whether the arbitrage is actually profitable. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need commodity-specific arbitrage data that accounts for real-world transport costs between geographic regions — distinct from crypto CEX/DEX arbitrage endpoints. Best for physical commodity trading scenarios involving oil, gas, metals, or agricultural grains where shipping logistics materially affect profitability. ## Known failure modes - Unsupported commodity type returns 400 with list of valid commodities - Invalid or unrecognized region pair returns 400 - Payment not included or insufficient returns 402 Payment Required - Market data temporarily unavailable returns 503 - Rate limit exceeded returns 429 ## How this service works Cross-regional price differentials for oil, gas, metals and grains, with transport-cost breakdown. For commodity and arbitrage agents. ## Output Returns a structured breakdown of price differentials for a commodity across regions, including buy-side and sell-side region prices, the gross price spread, itemized transport costs (freight, tariffs, handling), and the estimated net arbitrage margin after transport. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET", "HEAD", "DELETE" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "properties": { "unit": { "type": "string", "description": "bbl | mmbtu | ton | oz | bushel (default: auto)" }, "regions": { "type": "string", "description": "us,eu,asia,mena,latam (comma-separated, default: all major hubs)" }, "commodity": { "type": "string", "description": "oil | natural-gas | copper | gold | wheat | corn | soybeans | coffee | cocoa | cotton | lng | coal (default: natural-gas)" } } } }, "additionalProperties": false }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "errors": { "type": "object", "description": "Documented error responses, keyed by HTTP status code", "additionalProperties": { "type": "object", "required": [ "description" ], "properties": { "example": { "type": "object" }, "description": { "type": "string" } } } }, "example": { "type": "object" } } } } } ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "commodity": "natural-gas", "scan_time": "2026-06-06T12:00:00Z", "futures_basis": { "carry_trade_angle": "Storage economics: if contango > storage + financing cost, buying spot and selling futures is profitable", "front_month_vs_next": -0.15, "contango_or_backwardation": "contango" }, "global_context": "LNG arbitrage between Henry Hub and Asian JKM represents one of the largest persistent cross-market spreads in commodities.
