## 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 mining-revenue-per-algorithm-whattomine-988cb794
```

Example prompt: What's the current mining revenue per algorithm in USD per day — pull the latest WhatToMine data so I can see which algorithm is most profitable for a reference GPU rig right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need current per-algorithm mining revenue data from WhatToMine without building your own scraper or API integration. Ideal for profitability comparisons, rent-vs-mine arbitrage calculations, or daily mining strategy decisions. Prefer this over manual WhatToMine lookups when automating mining optimization workflows or when combined with GPU rental cost data for arbitrage analysis.

## Known failure modes

- WhatToMine upstream data unavailable — stale or missing revenue figures
- Network timeout or service outage returns HTTP 5xx
- Invalid or missing method parameter returns error
- x402 payment not processed — access denied without valid USDC payment
- Rate limiting if called too frequently

## How this service works
