# Clink Lithium Vault – SKU Lookup (Royalties & Spot Prices)

> Clink Lithium Vault – SKU Lookup (Royalties & Spot Prices) is a paid API for AI agents from clink-lithium-vault.fly.dev, paid per call via x402, $2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns primary-source lithium mining data for a chosen SKU: either royalty/streaming deal terms for a mine, or a full historical lithium spot price time-series (spodumene SC6 and carbonate).

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 clink-lithium-vault-sku-lookup-royalties-spot-prices-45034c14
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the royalty terms for the Greenbushes mine — I need the payor, payee, rate, and current status? Use the royalties SKU.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, primary-source lithium mining financial data — specifically royalty/streaming deal terms or historical spot prices — cited to regulatory filings (SEC, ASX, TSX, SEDAR). Prefer this over general commodity data APIs when you need mine-level specificity, royalty counterparty details, or spodumene SC6 pricing that generic financial data providers typically don't carry. Best for lithium-focused investment research, due diligence, or commodity modeling workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported SKU value returns an error — only 'royalties' and 'spot' are accepted
- Unknown mine name / entity returns no data or empty result
- Missing required query parameters (sku, entity, level) cause a bad request error
- Payment not processed results in HTTP 402 before data is returned
- Data may not be available for smaller or unlisted mines not covered by primary sources

## How this service works

Lithium mining data, pick one $2 field: sku=royalties (royalty/stream type, payor, payee, rate, status for a mine) or sku=spot (full lithium spot price time-series, spodumene SC6 + carbonate, since inception). Primary-source, SEC/ASX/TSX/SEDAR-cited. ?sku=<id>&entity=<MineName>&level=mine. Spodumene, brine, hardrock, battery metals; SGML PILBF ALB IGO Pilbara Greenbushes Atacama.

## Output

Returns structured primary-source data for the requested SKU: for 'royalties', a record containing royalty/stream type, payor name, payee name, rate, and current status for the specified mine; for 'spot', a complete time-series of lithium spot prices covering spodumene SC6 and lithium carbonate from inception to present, with values cited to SEC/ASX/TSX/SEDAR filings.
