# OpenIntel Find Token by Ticker

> OpenIntel Find Token by Ticker is a paid API for AI agents from api.openintel.agency, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Looks up on-chain token metadata (name, address, chain, market cap, liquidity, volume) for a given ticker symbol via pay-per-call proxy.

## 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 openintel-find-token-by-ticker-dd88914a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the on-chain details for the token with ticker BNKR — I need the contract address, which chain it's on, and its current market cap and liquidity?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a short ticker symbol to its on-chain token metadata (contract address, chain, market data) and are willing to pay a small per-call fee. Prefer this over free alternatives when you need structured, machine-readable output with market metrics like FDV and liquidity in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Ticker not found — returns error or empty result if the symbol is unknown or not indexed
- Ambiguous ticker — multiple tokens share the same symbol across chains, may return only one
- Stale data — market cap, liquidity, and volume figures may lag real-time DEX prices
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment not accepted, call blocked
- Rate limiting — excessive calls may be throttled

## How this service works

Pay-per-call proxy for the OpenIntel API.
