## 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 clonecho-symbol-search-b33314a1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the ticker symbol for Apple — I need to know which exchange it trades on and what sector it's in?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a plain-language company name or keyword into one or more tradeable ticker symbols, along with exchange and sector context. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable financial symbol data in JSON format.

## Known failure modes

- No matching tickers found for obscure or misspelled company names
- Ambiguous query returning multiple unrelated symbols
- Non-public or private companies returning no results
- Payment failure if USDC not available (x402 protocol)
- Rate limiting or timeout on high-frequency requests

## How this service works
