## 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 congress-trades-by-ticker-4c1bea67
```

Example prompt: Pull up the latest Senate congressional trade disclosures for NVDA — I want to see who bought or sold it, the amounts, and the dates.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, per-ticker congressional trade disclosure data without setting up API keys or subscriptions — ideal for one-off or pay-per-query agent workflows. Prefer this over web scraping the Senate eFD site directly when you need clean JSON output. Best for research, compliance monitoring, or transparency tools focused on Senate disclosures for a specific stock.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid ticker returns empty transactions array
- Ticker with no Senate disclosures on record returns zero results
- Malformed ticker string may return 400 or empty response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 status before data is served
- Rate limit or server error on the Vercel deployment returns 5xx

## How this service works

Pay-per-call stock, macro, on-chain, and crypto data over the x402 protocol. USDC on Base or Solana, no API keys, no subscriptions.

## Output

A JSON object containing the ticker symbol, coverage scope (e.g. senate-only), a list of transactions each with type (Purchase/Sale), senator name, owner (self/spouse), transaction date, dollar amount range, and a direct link to the official Senate eFD PTR filing, plus a total transaction count.
