## 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 foreign-exchange-rates-api-8591c200
```

Example prompt: What are the latest exchange rates for all major currencies against the US dollar — I need current forex rates including EUR, JPY, GBP, and the other top 30 currencies?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a broad snapshot of current forex rates for 30+ major currency pairs all quoted against USD in a single call, especially when ECB reference data is acceptable. Prefer this over a currency conversion API when you need bulk rates rather than a single pair conversion, or when you want raw rates to perform your own calculations.

## Known failure modes

- Cloudflare tunnel may be temporarily unavailable, returning 5xx errors
- Rates may be delayed or stale if upstream ECB data source is not refreshed
- Payment of 0.01 USDC via x402 required; missing or invalid payment header returns 402
- Rate data may not include exotic or less-traded currencies beyond the 30+ majors
