## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-coingecko-price-lookup-9a2ea828 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current price of Bitcoin according to CoinGecko? I need the live USD value right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-request cryptocurrency price lookup backed by CoinGecko data without maintaining your own CoinGecko API key or subscription. Ideal for agents that infrequently query prices and want to pay micro-amounts in USDC rather than managing API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized coin ID returns an error or empty result
- CoinGecko API rate limits or downtime propagate as failed responses
- Missing or malformed input body causes a 400-level error
- Payment not received in USDC on Base chain results in 402 rejection
