## 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 aurenic-crypto-spot-price-lookup-191d7f0c
```

Example prompt: What's the current spot price of BTC in USD?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, cheap, real-time USD spot price for a single cryptocurrency symbol and are already operating in an x402 micropayment context. At $0.01 USDC per call it is cost-effective for frequent polling or per-request lookups in agent workflows. Prefer alternatives if you need batch prices for many symbols simultaneously, historical price data, OHLCV data, or prices in non-USD currencies.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported symbol returns an error or empty response
- Network timeout if price feed is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed symbol (e.g. lowercase or special characters) may not resolve correctly
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before data is returned
