## 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 cinderwright-api-hub-currency-conversion-ff46f167
```

Example prompt: How much is 250 US dollars in euros right now? Convert USD to EUR for me.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use currency conversion without committing to a subscription-based forex API. It is ideal for AI agents that only occasionally need exchange rate lookups, or for pipelines that handle multicurrency financial data at low volume. The $0.001 per call pricing makes it cost-effective for sporadic use.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported currency code returns an error
- Missing required 'from' or 'to' query parameters returns a 400 bad request
- Insufficient USDC credit on API key returns a 402 Payment Required
- Network or upstream exchange rate provider outage may return 503
