## 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-live-btcusd-market-data-a5d12ef0
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest market intelligence data for BTCUSD right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time market intelligence for a specific crypto pair (like BTCUSD) or US equity ticker, especially within an agentic workflow that can handle x402 micropayments. Prefer this over static or cached data sources when freshness is critical for trading decisions or live dashboards.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported symbol returns an error response
- Network timeout if the upstream data provider is slow
- Payment failure (402) if the x402 micropayment is not correctly processed
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window
- Missing or malformed symbol path parameter returns a 400 or 404 error

## How this service works

Use before trading or answering a question about one asset (e.g. ETHUSD, BTCUSD, NVDA, TSLA). Returns its current trade-flow signal: price change, buy/sell pressure, momentum, activity and anomaly versus its own baseline, large trades, confidence and a plain-language interpretation, plus on-chain liquidity: the cost in basis points of a $1k/$10k/$50k market buy or sell and a 0-100 liquidity score.

## Output

A JSON object containing live market intelligence for the requested symbol (e.g. BTCUSD), likely including price, volume, and other market metrics relevant to crypto or equity trading.
