# News Gurus Market Regime Detector

> News Gurus Market Regime Detector is a paid API for AI agents from api.newsgurus.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the current market regime (e.g. TRENDING, RANGING) with ADX, VIX, confidence score, and reasoning as of the latest scan.

## 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-market-regime-detector-6c0eec00
```

Example prompt: What's the current market regime right now — is it trending or ranging, and how confident is the AI in that call?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a pre-computed, AI-synthesized market regime signal combining ADX and VIX without building its own technical indicator pipeline. Ideal for routing algorithmic strategies, gating trade execution, or generating morning market briefings. Prefer over raw market data feeds when you want a ready-to-act classification rather than raw OHLCV data.

## Known failure modes

- Stale data if the AI scanning pipeline lags — check fetched_at vs ts timestamps
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.002 x402 per-call fee
- HTTP 402 if payment header is missing or malformed
- Empty or null regime fields if market data feeds are temporarily unavailable
- Confidence score near 0.5 indicating ambiguous regime — borderline trending/ranging conditions

## 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 with the current market regime label (e.g. TRENDING), the ADX value, VIX spot price, a confidence score (0–1), a human-readable reason string explaining the classification, and timestamps for when the regime was calculated and when the data was fetched.
