## 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 coingecko-crypto-spot-price-lookup-e79e38b3

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live USD spot prices for one or more crypto assets identified by their CoinGecko IDs (e.g. 'bitcoin', 'ethereum', 'solana'). Prefer this over fiat FX endpoints for crypto-to-USD conversion, and over OHLCV candle endpoints when you only need the current price rather than historical data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized CoinGecko coin ID returns missing or empty price entry
- CoinGecko API rate limit or upstream outage causes 502/503 response
- Malformed 'ids' query parameter may return empty prices object
- Network timeout from upstream CoinGecko API
