## 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-market-brief-87e91c58
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick crypto market brief for BTC, ETH, and SOL — I want current prices, funding rates, fear and greed score, and the prediction market odds for bitcoin.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call, real-time crypto market snapshot combining prices, derivatives data, sentiment, FX rates, and prediction markets — especially useful for AI trading agents that need a broad market brief without maintaining separate API keys for each data source. Prefer this over raw exchange APIs when you want aggregated, pre-formatted data at low cost per call with no account setup.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid ticker symbols returns default BTC/ETH/SOL data
- Downstream data provider outage causes sections_failed array to be non-empty with partial results returned
- Payment of $0.02 USDC not received results in HTTP 402 response blocking data access
- Invalid query parameter format may cause unexpected default behavior
- Network timeout from upstream data sources may result in stale or missing price data

## 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: spot prices with confidence scores for requested tickers, perpetual funding rates and open interest in USD, a fear & greed index score and classification, FX rates relative to USD, prediction market questions with outcome probabilities and 24h volume, a timestamp, and a list of any data sections that failed to load.
