## 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 clinkagent-spodumene-price-history-adc44ee9
```

Example prompt: Pull me the full daily SC6 spodumene concentrate price history from January 2024 to today — I need the CIF China USD/tonne series including lithium carbonate spot prices.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, curated historical price series for SC6 spodumene concentrate with cited producer-level data (Pilbara, Sigma, Kodal SEC/ASX filings) rather than scraping commodity sites yourself. It is especially useful for financial modeling, mining company analysis, or battery metals market research requiring a consistent, reliable daily series going back to May 2023. Prefer /vault/summary for just the latest print at lower cost ($0.02).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format for 'from' or 'to' returns a parsing error
- Unsupported interval value returns validation error
- Date range outside available data window (pre-May 2023) may return empty or partial series
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC microtransaction is not completed
- Network timeout if the full series payload is large
