## 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 ioswarm-io-live-market-quote-9237fa17 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me live quotes for AAPL, TSLA, BTC-USD, and ETH-USD — I want to see the current price, today's session change, and what currency each is in?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time price quotes for a mixed basket of asset classes — stocks, ETFs, crypto, and FX — all in a single low-cost call with no account registration required. Ideal for agents that need ad-hoc market data on demand without managing API keys or subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbols return an error or empty data for that symbol
- Exceeding 8 symbols in a single request will be rejected
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 auth issue) blocks the response
- Crypto pairs must be formatted as X-USD (e.g. BTC-USD) or may not resolve
- Market closure may result in stale or missing session-change data

## How this service works

Live quotes for up to 8 symbols — stocks, ETFs, crypto pairs (BTC-USD), FX — price, session change and currency, in the paid response. $0.01 per call, no account.

## Output

A paid response containing current market price, session change (absolute or percentage), and currency denomination for each requested symbol, covering up to 8 tickers per call.
