## 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-dividend-data-04241445
```

Example prompt: What's the current dividend yield, next ex-dividend date, and recent dividend history for Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured dividend data — yields, payout ratios, dividend history, and upcoming payment dates — for individual US equities, paid per-call with USDC and no API key or subscription required. Ideal for agents that need occasional dividend lookups without a recurring data subscription, or for scenarios where programmatic micropayment via x402 is preferred over credentialed API access.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ticker symbol returns empty or error response
- Ticker with no dividend history returns empty dividend_history array
- Payment failure via x402 protocol (insufficient USDC balance) results in 402 response with no data
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Stale data if market data provider feed is delayed

## 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

Returns a JSON object with the as-of date, ticker symbol, dividend summary metrics (forward/trailing annual rate, forward/trailing yield percentage, five-year average yield, payout ratio), last dividend (date and amount), next dividend (payment date and ex-dividend date), full dividend history array (date and amount per entry), and stock split history (date, ratio, and display string).
