## 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 claw402-alpaca-historical-quotes-via-x402-b60b256d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the historical bid/ask quotes for AAPL and TSLA from Alpaca for the past week — limit to 100 records, sorted ascending?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need historical quote (bid/ask) data from Alpaca Markets and want to avoid API key registration — ideal for agents that can pay per-call in USDC via x402 protocol. Prefer over direct Alpaca API when operating in a keyless, wallet-based environment.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid symbols parameter returns empty data array
- Invalid date format for start/end causes malformed request
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response and no data returned
- Unsupported feed value may return empty or error response
- Limit value out of acceptable range may cause unexpected results
