## 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 messy-virgo-crypto-narrative-trend-tracker-e382bd87
```

Example prompt: Show me which crypto narratives are leading right now — rank all 17 sectors by momentum over the 15, 30, and 60-day windows, benchmarked against BTC and ETH.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quantitative, daily-updated momentum signals across crypto sector narratives — especially for sector rotation decisions, narrative tailwind scoring for individual tokens, or early trend detection. Prefer this over general market data APIs because it specifically measures 17 curated narrative categories relative to BTC, ETH, and the altcoin market over multiple lookback windows in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported narrative ID returns an error or empty result for that narrative
- Unsupported baseline value returns a validation error
- as_of date outside available history returns no data or a 404-style error
- Malformed windows parameter (e.g. non-numeric) causes a 400 bad request
- Payment not processed (x402) results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded may return a 429 error

## How this service works

Which crypto narratives lead right now: market-cap momentum of 18 sector narratives (AI agents, DeFi, RWA, DePIN, layer 1/2, memes and more) over 15, 30 and 60 days, measured against BTC, ETH and the altcoin market. Use it for sector rotation, to gauge a token's narrative tailwind or to spot a trend early. Updated daily.

## Output

Returns a ranked list of crypto sector narratives with momentum scores across the requested lookback windows (15, 30, 60 days), each benchmarked against one or more baselines (BTC, ETH, altcoin market ex-stables). Data is updated daily. Includes narrative IDs, labels, relative performance metrics, and trend direction signals per sector.
