# Messari Network Metrics 5-Minute Time-Series

> Messari Network Metrics 5-Minute Time-Series is a paid API for AI agents from api.messari.io, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Fetches 5-minute granularity historical time-series data for a specified blockchain network metric, enabling high-frequency on-chain monitoring.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-network-metrics-5-minute-time-series-39404e9f
```

Example prompt: Pull the 5-minute transaction count history for Ethereum from Messari from 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z to 2025-01-02T00:00:00Z using the tx_count metric slug.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the finest available granularity (5-minute intervals) for blockchain network metrics — ideal for high-frequency monitoring, intraday signal generation, or short-horizon anomaly detection. Prefer over 15m or 1h routes when latency sensitivity or real-time responsiveness is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid network identifier returns 404 or empty dataset
- Unknown metric dataset slug returns 400 or no data
- Time range too large may result in truncated or paginated response
- Start time after end time causes 400 bad request
- Payment failure or missing x402 credentials returns 402 Payment Required
- Future timestamps return no data points

## How this service works

Get 5-minute blockchain network metric history for high-frequency monitoring.

## Output

An array of timestamped metric value objects at 5-minute intervals for the requested blockchain network and metric slug, covering the specified time range.
