## 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 dapplooker-ask-loky-natural-language-blockchain-analytics-1ff3b4a1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Using DappLooker's Ask Loky, what is the current trading volume and liquidity for USDC on Ethereum over the last 24 hours?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to answer blockchain or DeFi analytics questions in natural language without constructing raw SQL or GraphQL queries. Ideal for autonomous agents that need real-time on-chain intelligence (token prices, volumes, protocol stats) across multiple chains via a single conversational interface. Prefer this over raw chain RPC calls or manual data aggregation when speed and simplicity matter.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'question' field returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid or unrecognized chain identifier may return empty or erroneous results
- Ambiguous natural language questions may yield low-confidence or incomplete answers
- Invalid api_key returns 401 unauthorized
- Unsupported or niche queries outside indexed data may return no results
- Payment not processed (x402) results in 402 Payment Required before data is returned

## How this service works

Run complex queries and extract real-time market intelligence — all through natural language. Powered by NLP and MCP-based APIs, seamlessly built for agent-ready integration

## Output

Returns structured blockchain analytics data in response to the natural language question — including market metrics, token stats, on-chain activity, or DeFi protocol data relevant to the query, formatted according to the requested response_type.
