## 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 jeetscreener-io-dac8c13e
```

Example prompt: What's the current short interest for AAPL — including short shares, short percent of float, and days-to-cover? I want to see both current and historical data.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need granular short interest data — specifically short shares, short percent, and days-to-cover — for a US-listed equity. Ideal for identifying potential short squeeze candidates, assessing bearish sentiment, or monitoring short interest trends over time. Prefer over general quote APIs when the specific focus is short-side metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown ticker symbol returns 404 or empty data
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 error
- Ticker for non-US or unlisted securities may return no data
- Historical data may have gaps for low-liquidity or recently listed stocks
- Network timeout if the data provider is temporarily unavailable

## Output
