## 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 messari-49e82cd5
```

Example prompt: Pull the Messari all-time-high price snapshots and current drawdown context for bitcoin, ethereum, and solana — limit results to those 3 assets using their slugs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical peak price context for crypto assets, especially to show drawdown from ATH. Prefer this over the general asset snapshot endpoint when the specific goal is understanding how far an asset is from its historical high price. Best for portfolio analysis, market research, and investor dashboards focused on peak price benchmarking.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid asset ids or slugs return an empty result set or 404
- Malformed comma-separated ids/slugs may cause a 400 bad request
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returns 402 Payment Required
- Requesting too many assets at once may hit the limit parameter ceiling
- Unknown sector or category filters may return empty results

## How this service works

Get all-time-high cryptocurrency price snapshots and drawdown context by asset.

## Output
