## 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-by-issuer-f94b7433
```

Example prompt: Which hedge funds are currently short Renault, and is short interest building or covering? Show me the weekly history over the last 90 days and give me the signal.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need regulatory-disclosed short positions on a specific European (especially French AMF-covered) stock by ISIN or name. It is the right choice for pre-trade due diligence, short-squeeze monitoring, hedge fund positioning research, or compliance-adjacent analysis of European equities. Prefer this over generic financial data endpoints when you specifically need fund-level short disclosure data and a directional signal (HEAVILY_SHORTED / SHORTS_BUILDING / SHORTS_COVERING) with historical weekly granularity.

## Known failure modes

- 404 Not Found – issuer ISIN or name is not present in AMF short-position disclosures; call is not charged
- Invalid days parameter – value outside 7–730 range returns a validation error
- Malformed ISIN – incorrectly formatted ISIN string may return 404 or validation error
- Payment failure – x402 payment of $0.01 USDC not completed results in 402 response
- Rate limiting – excessive concurrent calls may result in throttling

## How this service works

Short positions in a European stock (ISIN or name): each disclosed hedge fund net short position, the total, weekly history over days=7-730, recent changes and a signal (HEAVILY_SHORTED, SHORTS_BUILDING, SHORTS_COVERING). Use to see who is short.

## Output

A JSON object listing each fund's disclosed net short position, the aggregate total short interest, a weekly time series of short positions over the requested look-back window (7–730 days), recent changes in positioning, and a categorical signal: HEAVILY_SHORTED, SHORTS_BUILDING, or SHORTS_COVERING. Unknown issuers return a 404 and are not charged.
