## 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 cny-to-usd-currency-converter-live-rate-e216bd8c
```

Example prompt: How much is 850 Chinese yuan worth in US dollars right now? Use a live exchange rate.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, single CNY-to-USD currency conversion with a live exchange rate and a structured response including the rate and timestamp. Prefer this over general forex APIs when you specifically need CNY/USD and want a pay-per-call micropayment model via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid ?amount parameter may return an error or default value
- Stale rate if upstream forex data source is delayed
- Network timeout if live rate provider is unavailable
- Payment failure if the $0.004 USDC x402 payment is not processed correctly
