## 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 market2000-xyz-fear-greed-index-9a89a553
```

Example prompt: What's the current market fear and greed score right now — is it showing fear or greed, and how does it compare to last week and last month?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, quantitative Fear & Greed sentiment score for US equities with historical context and component-level breakdown. Prefer it over building your own sentiment aggregator or scraping CNN's Fear & Greed page. Pay-per-call x402 pricing makes it cost-effective for infrequent polling.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream data unavailable — score may be stale or endpoint returns an error
- Payment not processed — x402 payment on Base must succeed before data is returned
- Network timeout if upstream market data provider is slow

## How this service works

An origin the crawlers already index. We count what AI agents try to buy, what they are refused, and what the AI companies take without sending anyone back. Sold per call in USDC.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the current Fear & Greed score (0-100), a rating label (e.g. 'Greed', 'Fear', 'Neutral'), a cache flag, timestamp, component breakdowns (e.g. Market Momentum S&P 500 with its own score and rating), 30-day daily history array, plus previous week, month, and year scores for comparison.
