Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 industrialmetals-d4065384
```

Example prompt: Give me a live industrial metals snapshot — prices, momentum signals for copper, lithium, uranium, rare earths, and the rest, plus an AI market summary so I can see which categories are rising or falling right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a broad, real-time cross-section of industrial metals prices in a single call, especially when you want AI-interpreted momentum signals and category-level analysis rather than raw tick data. Prefer this over exchange-specific APIs when coverage across base, battery, strategic, and precious metals in one response is more valuable than tick-level precision. Ideal for market briefings, supply chain monitoring, and commodity-driven investment signals.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or incorrect USDC amount — 402 Payment Required
- Upstream commodity data feed unavailable — may return stale or partial data
- Rate limiting if called too frequently — 429 Too Many Requests
- Network timeout from live data aggregation — 503 or timeout error
