## 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-trending-gainers-losers-36eb5f71 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me the top 15 crypto gainers and losers from the last 24 hours — I want to see which big-cap coins are moving the most right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, ranked momentum snapshot of which major cryptocurrencies are gaining or losing the most value in the past 24 hours. It is ideal for discovery, trading signal generation, or alerting workflows where you want pre-ranked gainers/losers without needing to query individual coin endpoints. Prefer this over general market cap endpoints when price momentum (not just size) is the primary signal you need.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid limit value (outside 1-50 range) returns a validation error
- Data may be marked stale if CoinLore upstream is delayed or unavailable
- Empty gainers or losers list if market conditions are unusually flat
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient (x402 protocol)
- Network timeout if upstream CoinLore data is slow to respond

## How this service works

Trending crypto by 24h price momentum: the biggest gainers and losers among the top coins by market cap, each with symbol, rank, USD price, 24h change % and market cap. A momentum/discovery signal for agents. Source: CoinLore.

## Output
