## 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 degenscan-intel-carry-now-single-coin-18cde6b9
```

Example prompt: What's the current funding rate, open interest, and mark price for BTC on Hyperliquid right now — and what's the annualized carry cost?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time perpetual futures funding rates, open interest, mark price, and oracle price for a specific coin on Hyperliquid. Prefer it over general market data APIs when you specifically need on-chain DEX perp funding/carry metrics rather than spot prices or centralized exchange data. It is especially useful for carry trade analysis, funding arbitrage monitoring, and pre-trade cost estimation.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if no API key or free trial header is sent — requires X-API-KEY or X-Free-Trial: 1 header
- Invalid or unsupported coin ticker returns an error or empty response
- Free trial limit of 100 calls/day/IP exceeded results in 402 or rate-limit error
- Coin not listed on the target DEX may return no data
- Network or upstream Hyperliquid data outage may cause delayed or missing results

## How this service works

Cross-asset market event intelligence for AI trading agents. Priced routes return HTTP 402 with x402 v2 payment requirements (USDC on Base) unless X-API-KEY is sent or the free trial header X-Free-Trial: 1 is present (100 calls/day/IP). Information and analytics only — not investment advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the DEX name, coin ticker, current mark price, oracle price, open interest in USD, 24h volume in USD, 1-hour funding rate, and annualized funding APR calculated on 8h, 24h, and current bases, plus the timestamp of the data.
