# Drip Stock Picks API

> Drip Stock Picks API is a paid API for AI agents from dripstack.xyz, paid per call via x402, $3/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns AI-extracted stock pick calls (ticker, direction, conviction, rationale) from 100+ premium financial newsletters and podcasts for a given date.

## 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 drip-stock-picks-api-6acd98cf
```

Example prompt: Pull up to 50 stock picks from Drip for today, May 30 2026 — I want to see the tickers, whether they're long or short, conviction level, and the rationale snippet for each call.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs structured, AI-extracted stock pick signals from curated premium financial newsletters and podcasts — especially when the goal is to aggregate multiple sources into a single ranked or filterable list by date. Prefer this over scraping individual newsletters directly (which requires subscriptions and unstructured parsing) or general financial data APIs (which don't include newsletter-sourced alpha). Best suited for daily briefing agents, portfolio research workflows, or investment idea aggregators that need source-attributed, conviction-scored equity calls.

## Known failure modes

- No picks available for the requested date returns count=0 with empty items array
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) returns a validation error
- Limit outside 1-500 range returns a schema validation error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC or x402 protocol error) returns 402 with no data
- Date in the future may return empty results if content hasn't been published yet

## How this service works

Your investing agent can't read the best research. Drip connects 100+ premium financial newsletters and podcasts to your agent. Pay per article, no subscriptions.

## Output
