# Carbon & Cashmere Cointegration Analysis API

> Carbon & Cashmere Cointegration Analysis API is a paid API for AI agents from api.carbon-cashmere.de, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns statistical cointegration metrics for a crypto pair including Engle-Granger test results, spread z-score, beta coefficient, and mean-reversion half-life

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 carbon-cashmere-cointegration-analysis-api-65cda74b
```

Example prompt: Run a cointegration test on the BTC-ETH pair and tell me if they're statistically cointegrated at the 5% level, along with the current spread z-score and how many days it takes to mean-revert.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need rigorous statistical validation of a pairs-trading hypothesis between two crypto assets — specifically when you need Engle-Granger cointegration test results, spread z-scores, and mean-reversion half-life rather than simple correlation. Prefer over generic price endpoints when the goal is quantitative strategy validation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported pair symbol returns an error
- Insufficient historical data for the pair may yield unreliable statistics
- Malformed pair format (not BASE-QUOTE) returns 400
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC returns 402
- Rate limiting if too many requests in short window

## How this service works

Professional crypto market intelligence. Real-time prices, signals, and market scoring.

## Output

A JSON object containing: base and quote asset identifiers, Engle-Granger test statistic and p-value with critical values, current spread value and z-score, beta coefficient, lookback period in days, ADF p-value for mean reversion, mean-reversion half-life in days, and boolean flags for cointegration at 5% and 10% significance levels.
