## 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 market-data-ticker-overview-7da95401
```

Example prompt: Look up the reference overview for NVDA — I want the full company name, which exchange it trades on, market cap, shares outstanding, and its industry classification.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need static reference/profile data about a ticker — name, exchange, market cap, industry, description — rather than price or time-series data. Ideal for enriching a ticker symbol with human-readable context, building instrument lookups, or populating a dashboard header. Supports stocks, crypto, and forex in a single unified endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or empty result
- Crypto tickers must use the correct prefix format (e.g. X:BTCUSD) or lookup may fail
- Forex tickers may have limited metadata compared to equities
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 payment is not processed correctly
- Stale or missing data for thinly traded or newly listed tickers

## How this service works

Reference overview for a ticker — name, exchange, market cap, shares outstanding, industry and description across stocks, crypto and forex.

## Output

Returns structured reference data for the queried ticker including the full name, listing exchange, market capitalization, shares outstanding, industry category, and a textual description of the company or asset. Works for US stocks, crypto pairs (e.g. X:BTCUSD), and forex tickers.
