# ManyLives Metrics Report

> ManyLives Metrics Report is a paid API for AI agents from api.manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Analyzes CSV or row-based tabular data to produce period-over-period metric changes, group comparisons, and plain-language summaries

## 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-metrics-report-d7a42fc7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this CSV of my social media posts — columns for month, format, posts, comments, and revenue — and give me a metrics report comparing September vs August, broken down by format so I can see which one (reel or carousel) performed best on each metric.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have raw tabular data (CSV or row arrays) and need instant period-over-period metric analysis with plain-language summaries and group comparisons, without setting up a full analytics pipeline. It is especially useful for AI agents that receive user-uploaded spreadsheets or data exports and must produce a concise performance report in a single pay-per-call request with no account required.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or missing CSV header row causes parsing failure
- No numeric columns detected when all columns are string-typed
- Single period in data means no period-over-period comparison is possible
- group_by column not found in CSV headers returns an error
- Ambiguous period column name not auto-detected requires explicit period parameter

## 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

Returns a JSON object with: total row count, the latest and previous period labels, an array of metric changes (absolute and percentage), group-level breakdowns with best-performer per metric, and an array of plain-English summary sentences describing the key movements.
