## 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 arch-tools-crypto-price-67d4db30 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current price of Solana? Use the CoinGecko coin ID 'solana' to look it up.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, on-demand price lookup for any CoinGecko-listed cryptocurrency and are operating in an x402 payment-enabled environment. It is ideal for agents that need real-time price data programmatically without managing a CoinGecko API key directly. Prefer this over free tiers if you need reliable uptime and are already using the Arch Tools suite.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized CoinGecko coin ID returns an error or empty result
- Network timeout if CoinGecko upstream is slow or unavailable
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.01 per-call fee
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short period
