## 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 fold-x402-perp-market-snapshot-f098d9e1
```

Example prompt: What's the current price, 24-hour change, funding rate, and quote volume for the ETH perp right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an onchain agent or automated trading system needs real-time perpetual futures market data — specifically price, funding rate, 24h change, and quote volume — for a single crypto symbol, and is capable of settling x402 micropayments in USDC. Prefer this over manual scraping or centralized APIs when operating in a machine-to-machine, pay-per-query context.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid symbol returns an error — symbol must be a valid perp ticker like BTC, ETH, SOL
- Payment failure (x402 micropayment not completed or insufficient USDC) blocks access
- Unknown/unsupported symbol returns an error or empty data
- Network timeout if the upstream market data source is unavailable

## How this service works
