# Kronos x402 Market-Intelligence Alerts API

> Kronos x402 Market-Intelligence Alerts API is a paid API for AI agents from kronossignals.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

## 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 kronos-x402-market-intelligence-alerts-api-2952bc74
```

Example prompt: Check Kronos for any active market-state alerts on ETH-USD right now — I want to know the funding rate, whether there's any directional pressure, and if the regime engine has flagged anything in the last couple of hours.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, per-call heuristic market-state intelligence (funding rate levels, regime classification, open interest) for crypto perpetual markets, especially when you want pay-as-you-go pricing via x402 micropayments rather than a subscription. Prefer over generic price feeds when regime context and derivative market signals (not just spot price) are required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not fulfilled via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required if micropayment header is missing or invalid
- Unknown or unsupported asset symbol — may return an error or empty/unavailable response
- Bybit/OKX data feed delay — as_of timestamp may lag real-time by seconds
- available: false in response if upstream data is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed asset path parameter returns 404 or validation error

## Output

A JSON object containing: the asset queried, a timestamp, availability flag, active alerts array (empty if none triggered), and a current_state block with a human-readable regime description, raw funding rate, annualized funding rate, open interest figure, and the state timestamp. Includes a disclaimer that signals are heuristic and not financial advice.
