## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: What are the top 10 crypto perps that moved the most in the last 24 hours, showing both up and down movers, ranked by price change?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time ranked crypto perpetuals market movers with configurable lookback windows and ranking by price, funding rate, or open interest. Prefer it over generic crypto price APIs when you specifically need perp-specific metrics like funding rates and open interest changes. It is pay-per-call with no account required, making it ideal for agents that need occasional market snapshots without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required window_hours parameter returns a validation error
- window_hours outside 1-72 range may return an error or be clamped
- Invalid rank_by value may return an error or default to price
- Invalid direction value may default to both
- limit outside 1-10 range may be clamped or return an error
- Payment not provided returns HTTP 402 requiring x402 payment
- Service outage or upstream data unavailability returns 5xx error
