## 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 hyperliquid-validator-rankings-hype-staking-info-15684af7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me the top Hyperliquid validators I can delegate my HYPE to, including their commission rates, uptime, and expected APR so I can pick the best one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time Hyperliquid validator metrics — stake share, commission, uptime, and APR — specifically to support HYPE staking delegation decisions. Prefer it over generic blockchain explorers when you need a pre-ranked, structured list purpose-built for delegator comparison on the Hyperliquid network.

## Known failure modes

- Hyperliquid open data source temporarily unavailable — empty or error response
- limit parameter set to 0 or negative — may return no results or error
- Network timeout if Hyperliquid chain data is slow to fetch
- Stale data if validator set changed recently and cache hasn't refreshed
