## 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 coinank-open-interest-by-exchange-878c0606
```

Example prompt: Show me the open interest breakdown by exchange for BTC right now — I want to see which exchanges are holding the most futures positions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to see how open interest in a specific cryptocurrency is distributed across multiple exchanges simultaneously, e.g. for identifying where futures positioning is concentrated. Prefer this over generic price APIs when the specific insight needed is derivatives/OI data rather than spot prices or volume.

## Known failure modes

- Empty data array returned if baseCoin is not recognized or has no open interest data
- Non-zero code field indicating upstream CoinAnk API error
- Payment failure via x402 if wallet has insufficient USDC balance
- Malformed or missing baseCoin parameter may return empty or error response
- Rate limiting or gateway timeout from claw402 proxy layer
