## 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-track-records-strategy-leaderboard-f6c8d827
```

Example prompt: Show me the top crypto trading strategies from the ManyLives leaderboard for the past month using a 1-day prediction horizon, and factor in 5 basis points of trading costs per side.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a ranked, filterable leaderboard of backtested trading strategies across crypto or equities, especially when you want point-in-time historical leaderboard snapshots, cost-adjusted returns, or filtering by specific books, segments, or horizons. Prefer it over generic market data APIs when the goal is strategy discovery and comparative performance ranking rather than raw price or indicator data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid book id returns empty or error response
- Unrecognized horizon or window values may be ignored or return defaults
- as_of date in the future or before data availability returns empty results
- Pagination offset beyond total strategies returns empty strategies array
- Payment failure (x402) blocks access before any data is returned
