## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability manylives-crypto-market-prices-ad838372
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the current mark price, oracle price, hourly funding rate, and open interest for BTC, ETH, and SOL right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time perpetual futures data (mark price, oracle price, funding rate, open interest) for one or many crypto assets in a single low-cost call with no account required. It is especially suited for AI agents needing spot pricing context alongside derivatives data, or for monitoring funding rate signals across a broad basket of assets. Prefer it over exchange-specific APIs when you want a unified multi-coin response without API key setup.

## Known failure modes

- Requested coin symbol not found — returned in 'missing' array rather than an error
- Stale data — age_seconds may be elevated during market downtime or API lag
- More than 50 symbols requested — may be truncated or rejected
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment not processed, call rejected
- Invalid comma-separated format for coins parameter
