## 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-c4bc4eaa -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current exchange rate from USD to EUR right now? I need the live rate for a financial calculation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-request exchange rate lookups without a subscription, especially if you already have a USDC wallet on Base chain and want to avoid recurring API fees for low-volume or sporadic rate queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid currency pair returns error in result object
- Missing required currency identifiers causes malformed request
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) returns 402 status and blocks response
- Rate data temporarily unavailable returns empty or error result
- Unsupported currency pair returns null or error data
