## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability dripmetrics-momentum-metric-45c3ba64
```

Example prompt: What's the 1-hour momentum right now for BTCUSDT on Binance?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single, computed momentum score for a crypto pair on Binance or Coinbase without setting up subscriptions or API keys. Ideal for agents making pay-per-use trading signal lookups, risk assessments, or directional trend checks in real time. Prefer this over raw trade data endpoints when you need a ready-to-use directional metric rather than raw ticks.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported pair/exchange combination — 2h and 3h windows only available for BTCUSDT/BTC-USD
- Invalid or misspelled trading pair symbol returns an error
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Partial data coverage when exchange feed has gaps (coverageRatio < 1, partialData: true)
- Unsupported window enum value returns validation error

## How this service works

DripMetricsAI (api description at https://dripmetrics.ai/) provides on-demand crypto market microstructure and risk metrics for agents and developers. Agents can pay per request via x402 and receive structured JSON metrics without subscriptions or API keys. Momentum measures directional return over the specified lookback window. Discovery examples use the latest 30m window.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing: the metric name ('momentum'), the trading pair and exchange, the lookback window, a numeric momentum value representing directional return, the timestamp it was computed, trade count used in the calculation, first and last trade times, and a coverage object detailing how fully the requested window was populated (including coverage ratio, effective vs requested minutes, and whether data was partial or complete).
