## 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-status-us-crypto-forex-exchange-state-0d603d67
```

Example prompt: Is the US stock market open right now, or is it in extended hours or closed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to know in real time whether US equity exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ), crypto, or forex markets are currently open, closed, or in an extended-hours session — especially before placing or routing trades, or gating workflows that depend on market hours.

## Known failure modes

- API payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout if the upstream market data feed is unavailable
- Stale data if the provider's feed lags behind real-time exchange status
