## 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 crypto-fear-greed-index-with-news-sentiment-0d44fa0e
```

Example prompt: What's the current crypto market sentiment — give me the Fear and Greed index score, its classification, and how it blends with recent news headlines to give an overall bullish or bearish signal for Bitcoin.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single blended sentiment signal that combines both the quantitative Fear & Greed index and qualitative news-headline sentiment in one call. Prefer this over the timing-fng sibling if you also want news sentiment integrated. Prefer over timing-indicators if you want sentiment rather than on-chain valuation metrics. Ideal for pre-trade sentiment checks, daily market mood snapshots, or coin-specific sentiment queries.

## Known failure modes

- Coin symbol not recognized — returns generic market sentiment instead of coin-specific
- Upstream Fear & Greed API unavailable — endpoint may return stale or error response
- RSS headline feed temporarily unavailable — news sentiment component may be absent or degraded
- Invalid query parameter format — may return 400 or empty result

## How this service works

Composite crypto market sentiment: the Fear & Greed index (value, classification, trend) blended with aggregated news-headline sentiment into one bullish/bearish/neutral score, optionally focused on a coin or query. Data by alternative.me (attributed) + curated RSS headlines.

## Output

Returns the current Fear & Greed index numeric value and its classification (e.g. Extreme Fear, Fear, Neutral, Greed, Extreme Greed), a trend indicator, aggregated news-headline sentiment, and a unified bullish/bearish/neutral composite score. Optionally scoped to a specific coin or query.
