## 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 hergert-synthora-open-interest-api-26e649d3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current open interest, mark price, and funding rate for BTC perpetuals right now — and is the signal bullish, bearish, or neutral?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cryptographically signed open interest snapshot for crypto perpetuals — especially when you require an authentic, tamper-evident result (ed25519 signature) alongside mark price and funding rate in a single call. Prefer this over generic market data APIs when operating in an autonomous agent context where signed provenance of market data matters.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported asset symbol returns an error
- Network or infrastructure downtime at the Las Palmas origin
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance for x402 microtransaction)
- Malformed request body returns validation error
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion
