Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```

Example prompt: Pull up the full Blockchain IQ research brief for Solana — I want the tokenomics, who's behind it, how it's traded, on-chain activity, and any recent coverage, all with sources.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need comprehensive, analyst-verified, sourced research on a specific cryptocurrency — covering fundamentals, tokenomics, on-chain data, team, and recent news — rather than just a price quote or market snapshot. Ideal for due diligence workflows, grounding AI-generated answers about a coin, or building research summaries. Prefer over generic market data endpoints when depth and sourced claims matter. Supports 130+ coins identified by CoinGecko ID or Blockchain IQ research slug.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported coin slug returns a 404 or error indicating the coin is not in the research index
- Misspelled CoinGecko ID or slug returns no results — agent should consult the research index for valid slugs
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance ($0.02 required per call) results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Transient network or server errors may return 5xx responses; retry logic recommended
