## 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-intelligence-api-european-short-positions-94db32ae
```

Example prompt: Which European stocks are most heavily shorted by hedge funds right now, and how has the short interest changed over the last 30 days?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a real-time ranked snapshot of European short interest based on official regulatory disclosures (French AMF), particularly when you want to identify the most heavily shorted names, track changes in short pressure, or understand which hedge funds hold the largest short positions. Prefer this over generic market data providers when you need AMF-sourced, regulation-grade short position data rather than estimated or crowdsourced short interest figures.

## Known failure modes

- AMF data may be delayed if regulatory disclosures have not yet been published for recent positions
- Response may be empty or stale if no new short position disclosures have been filed recently
- Network or payment authentication errors if the x402 micropayment header is missing or malformed
- Rate limiting if the endpoint is called too frequently in a short window

## How this service works

Most shorted European stocks: issuers ranked by disclosed net short interest (hedge fund positions of 0.5%+ of capital published by the French AMF), with 30-day change, funds short and largest holder. Use to find crowded shorts in Europe.

## Output

A ranked list of European issuers ordered by disclosed net short interest (hedge fund positions of 0.5%+ of capital as reported to the French AMF), with each entry including the issuer name, net short interest as a percentage of capital, 30-day change in short interest, the number of funds holding short positions, and the identity of the largest short holder.
