## 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-leverage-metrics-by-symbol-d0fe58e9
```

Example prompt: What are the current funding rate, open interest, and long/short account ratio for BTC perpetual swaps right now — is the market leaning bullish or bearish?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time crypto derivatives sentiment data — specifically funding rates, open interest, and long/short positioning — paid per-call with no API key or subscription. Ideal for trading agents, market monitoring workflows, or quant strategies that need on-demand leverage metrics without committing to a data vendor. Prefer over subscription-based data APIs when usage is sporadic or cost-per-call economics are favorable.

## Known failure modes

- Symbol not supported — returns error if the symbol has no derivatives data on OKX
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC must succeed before data is returned; insufficient balance causes 402 rejection
- Stale or unavailable data — open interest trend may lag or be unavailable for low-volume symbols
- Invalid symbol format — passing a malformed ticker may return a 400 or empty response

## 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 symbol and exchange/instrument name, current funding rate (as percent and decimal), funding rate trend, last and next settlement times, previously settled rate, open interest in USD and coin amount with trend, and the long/short account ratio with a plain-English interpretation of market positioning bias.
