## 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 asterpay-trending-crypto-tokens-ed546215
```

Example prompt: What cryptocurrencies are trending right now? Give me the top tokens with their current prices and how much they've moved in the last 24 hours.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time snapshot of which cryptocurrency tokens are gaining social and trading momentum, particularly for meme coins and altcoins. Prefer this over general price feeds (like the sibling aggregated crypto price endpoint) when the goal is trend discovery rather than tracking specific known tokens. Best suited for market pulse checks, trading signal generation, and crypto news monitoring agents.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required error
- Network timeout if the underlying market data source is unavailable
- Empty or stale trending list if market data feed is delayed
- Rate limiting if the endpoint is called too frequently without valid payment
- Malformed response if the market data provider returns unexpected token structures
