## 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-exchange-rates-api-14d0f7dd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me the current exchange rate from US dollars to euros so I can figure out the conversion for my invoice?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use forex rate lookup without a subscription, especially in agent workflows that only occasionally need exchange rate data and want to pay micro-amounts in USDC on Base rather than managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported currency codes return an error response
- Insufficient USDC payment triggers a 402 Payment Required response
- Network or upstream provider outages may result in stale or unavailable rates
- Malformed request body causes a validation error
