## 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-search-0a084544 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search CoinGecko for 'ethereum' and tell me what coins, exchanges, and categories come up in the results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or identify a cryptocurrency, exchange, NFT collection, or category by name or keyword — especially to resolve a human-friendly name to a CoinGecko coin ID before calling detailed endpoints like Coin Data or Market Chart. Prefer this over Coins List when the user has a partial or fuzzy name rather than needing a full enumeration.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Query with no matches returns empty result arrays
- Misspelled token names may return zero or unexpected results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error
- Truncated response if result payload is very large
