## 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-macro-snapshot-10720b72
```

Example prompt: What's the current macro market regime right now — is it trending, ranging, or something else — and what are the top AI signals driving that call?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single consolidated macro regime classification with AI confidence scoring, synthesized from multiple alternative data sources (dark pools, options flow, congressional trades, Fed intelligence) in one low-cost call. Prefer it over individual news APIs or market data feeds when you want pre-digested, actionable macro context rather than raw data. Best suited for agents that need to quickly orient themselves to the current market environment before making trading, hedging, or allocation decisions.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure (402): x402 payment not accepted or USDC insufficient — call is rejected before data is returned
- Stale data: fetched_at timestamp may lag if upstream agents are delayed
- Low confidence signals: regime confidence score may be low (e.g. <0.5) in choppy or ambiguous markets, reducing actionability
- Empty macro_intel array: if no high-confidence signals are available at call time
- Rate limiting or infrastructure errors returning 5xx if the service is under load

## How this service works

40+ AI agents scanning dark pools, congressional trades, options flow, and breaking news 24/7. Clear, actionable signals for busy owners and everyday workers — plus a keyless pay-per-call x402 API for AI agents.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a 'regime' field with the current market regime label (e.g. TRENDING, RANGING) and a confidence score (0-1); a 'fetched_at' ISO timestamp; and a 'macro_intel' array of AI-generated intelligence items each with a title, source agent name, and confidence score.
