## 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 cryptocurrency-market-snapshot-f938d379
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full market snapshot for Chainlink — I want current price, market cap, 24-hour volume, 24-hour percent change, all-time high, and its category tags?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive market overview for a single token rather than just a spot price. It is ideal when an agent or user needs multiple metrics at once (price + market cap + volume + ATH + category) in a single API call, avoiding multiple round-trips. Prefer the dedicated spot price endpoint if only the current price is needed, or the OHLCV endpoint for historical candlestick data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized CoinGecko token ID returns an error — ensure the exact CoinGecko slug is used (e.g. 'bitcoin' not 'BTC')
- Token not listed on CoinGecko returns a 404 or empty response
- Network/ngrok gateway timeout if the upstream data provider is unavailable
- Payment failure if the $0.01 USDC x402 payment is not processed before the request

## How this service works

Complete market snapshot for a cryptocurrency: current price, market capitalization, 24-hour trading volume, 24-hour percentage change, all-time high, and category tags. Use this when you need a full picture of a token's market standing rather than just its current price.

## Output

A structured market data object for the requested token containing: current USD price, market capitalization in USD, 24-hour trading volume, 24-hour percentage price change, all-time high price, and category tags associated with the token on CoinGecko.
