## 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-fx-rates-1058bd2d
```

Example prompt: What's the current exchange rate from USD to AUD, JPY, and EUR — and how much would 250 USD be in each of those currencies?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-call FX rate lookups without creating an account, especially in AI agent workflows on the Base network. It supports multi-currency queries and optional amount conversion in a single call, making it efficient for trading bots, invoicing agents, or any workflow needing real-time forex data at low per-call cost ($0.002 USDC).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported currency code in 'base' or 'symbols' returns an error or empty rates
- Malformed 'symbols' string (e.g. bad delimiter) may return unexpected results or errors
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in HTTP 402 and no data returned
- Service unavailability or upstream forex data outage returns a 5xx error
