## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability fx-rate-lookup-d9558079
```

Example prompt: What's the current reference exchange rate from USD to ZAR?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick reference FX rate between two ISO currencies for informational, budgeting, or enrichment purposes — not for executing live trades or obtaining guaranteed transaction quotes. Prefer this over a full forex trading API when you only need a data point without order placement side effects.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ISO currency code returns an error
- Missing required base or quote query parameter causes a 400-level error
- Rate data temporarily unavailable for exotic currency pairs
- Network timeout or server error returns 5xx response

## How this service works

Reference foreign exchange rate between two ISO currencies (not an executable quote).

## Output

Returns a reference exchange rate for the requested currency pair (base and quote ISO codes), indicating how many units of the quote currency equal one unit of the base currency. This is an informational rate, not a guaranteed executable trade quote.
