# Nimatron COT Summary Snapshot

> Nimatron COT Summary Snapshot is a paid API for AI agents from api.nimatron.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a one-call snapshot of CFTC Commitment of Traders data: report dates, top crowded-long and crowded-short markets by 52-week COT index, biggest week-over-week speculator moves, and universe counts across 438 markets.

## 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 nimatron-cot-summary-snapshot-03ade65a
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick COT market snapshot — show the top 3 most crowded-long and crowded-short futures markets by 52-week COT index, the biggest speculator positioning move this week, and when the latest CFTC report was dated.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost overview of speculator positioning across all CFTC markets without querying individual markets. It is the cheapest entry point into the Nimatron COT dataset ($0.05 USDC) and ideal for dashboards, morning briefings, or routing logic that identifies which specific markets to drill into with the premium per-market endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- CFTC data not yet published for the current week — may return stale or cached snapshot
- Service unavailable — 503 if upstream CFTC data pipeline is down
- Rate limiting — 429 if called too frequently

## How this service works

Cheapest entry point: one-call COT snapshot. Report dates, top 3 crowded-long and crowded-short markets by 52-week COT index, biggest week-over-week spec move, universe counts. From the same 438-market CFTC dataset as the premium endpoints.

## Output

Returns a structured snapshot including: CFTC report dates, the top 3 crowded-long and top 3 crowded-short markets ranked by their 52-week COT index, the single market with the biggest week-over-week speculator positioning change (normalized), and total universe counts — all drawn from the full 438-market CFTC dataset.
