## 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 manylives-1d-best-return-strategy-rankings-d047af7d
```

Example prompt: Pull the current leaderboard of best 1-day trading strategies from ManyLives — I want to see which crypto or stock strategies have the highest verified returns over the last 30 days, ranked by performance.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, ready-to-consume leaderboard of the best daily trading strategies by return, rather than fetching raw market data or building your own ranking logic. It is especially useful for AI trading agents that need to quickly surface top candidates with verified on-chain or computed track records without maintaining their own strategy database.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient USDC — returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Network or Base chain unavailability causing on-chain data gaps
- Strategy data not yet refreshed for the current day, returning stale results
- Empty result list if no strategies meet the daily criteria threshold

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output
