## 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 laevitas-options-volatility-data-e33d5705
```

Example prompt: Pull the hourly implied volatility data for BTC-PERPETUAL on Deribit from January 1st to January 31st 2024, limit to 500 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical or recent implied volatility timeseries data for specific crypto options instruments on exchanges like Deribit, Binance, OKX, Bybit, or Hyperliquid. Prefer this over general market data APIs when you need options-specific IV metrics with flexible resolution.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid API key or unpaid x402 request returns 401/402
- Unknown exchange name returns empty data or error
- Invalid instrument_name format returns error or empty array
- start/end date range too large may exceed limit
- Invalid resolution enum value returns validation error
- Cursor pagination token expired or invalid returns error

## How this service works

Professional market data API for crypto derivatives, spot markets, prediction markets, Hyperliquid HyperCore data, proprietary volatility surfaces, and analytics.

## Authentication

Use an API key for authenticated REST requests:

```http
X-API-Key: your-api-key-here
```

Most data endpoints also support x402 pay-per-request without an API key.
