## 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 forgemesh-daily-fx-reference-rate-95b117a8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's today's official daily reference rate for USD to EUR? I need it for our invoicing system, not a live market quote.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a stable, official daily benchmark rate for financial reporting, invoicing, or pricing pages — not when you need a real-time or intraday market quote. Best suited for back-office and compliance use cases where consistency and auditability matter more than recency.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported currency code returns an error or empty result
- Rate not yet published for today (e.g. before business day update) may return previous day's rate
- Network or payment failure returns HTTP 402 or connection error
- Invalid or misspelled currency code in base or quote field causes a validation error

## How this service works

Look up the daily reference rate for any pair among roughly 30 major currencies, returned with the date it applies to. Meant for pricing pages, invoicing, and financial reporting that need a consistent official benchmark rather than a fast-moving market quote. Updated once per business day and cached for an hour.

## Output

Returns the official daily reference exchange rate between the requested base and quote currency pair, along with the date the rate applies to. The rate is updated once per business day and cached for one hour, providing a stable benchmark rather than a real-time market price.
