## 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 financial-data-x402-analyst-ratings-short-interest-6a2757fd
```

Example prompt: What do analysts currently think about Tesla — give me the price targets, short interest, and any recent upgrades or downgrades.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a consolidated analyst view — price targets, short interest, and rating history — in a single pay-per-call request without managing API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal for agents that need on-demand financial research without committing to recurring data fees. Prefer it over broker APIs when cost-per-query matters and the agent only occasionally needs analyst data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker returns an error or empty data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 response requiring USDC payment on Base or Solana
- Data may be delayed or unavailable for thinly traded or OTC stocks
- If Yahoo Finance data is unavailable upstream, the response may be incomplete or stale

## How this service works

Pay-per-call stock, macro, on-chain, and crypto data over the x402 protocol. USDC on Base or Solana, no API keys, no subscriptions.

## Output

A JSON object containing: current-date price targets (low, high, mean, number of analysts, recommendation key), short interest metrics (short ratio, shares short, percent of float, month-over-month change), a list of recent upgrades/downgrades with firm name and date, and a recommendation trend breakdown (strong buy, buy, hold, sell, strong sell) for the current month.
