## 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 news-gurus-congressional-trades-feed-33f369c5
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest congressional stock trades for NVDA — show me up to 25 results including who bought or sold, their party, state, the amount range, and when it was disclosed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date congressional stock trade disclosure data with optional ticker filtering, especially in a pay-per-call agent workflow using x402 micropayments. Prefer this over scraping public STOCK Act disclosures yourself when you need clean JSON output without parsing overhead, or when building automated trading signals that incorporate political trading activity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns empty trades array
- Limit parameter outside 1–50 range returns validation error
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC results in 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailable or upstream data source down returns 5xx error
- Stale data if congressional disclosures haven't been refreshed recently
