## 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-crypto-price-9d807381
```

Example prompt: What are the current USD prices for BTC, SOL, and the Base network WETH token at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006? I need confidence scores too.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need real-time USD prices for one or more crypto assets — including obscure on-chain tokens addressable by chain:contract — without requiring an account or API key, and when you want a per-call micropayment model with confidence scoring. It supports both standard tickers (BTC, SOL) and Base network contract addresses in a single request.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or missing entry
- Malformed chain:address format causes a parsing error
- Missing required 'coins' query parameter returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call with a 402 response
- Network or upstream data source outage may return stale or unavailable prices

## 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

A JSON object containing a prices array, where each element includes the coin identifier, symbol, current USD price as a number, a timestamp, and a confidence score (0–1) indicating data reliability.
