Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-get-first-buyers-for-token-f76863d2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Who were the very first wallets to buy the token at address 0xabcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01? I want to see the first buyer wallet addresses, when they bought, and their transaction IDs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify the earliest buyers of a specific token at launch — useful for detecting sniper bots, identifying early insiders, researching token launches, or building on-chain social graphs around token distribution. Prefer this over general blockchain explorers when you want pre-processed, launch-window-focused first-buyer data with caching and window strategy metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown token address returns empty results array
- Token has no recorded buy history returns empty results
- Malformed token address causes a 400 validation error
- Service unavailable or upstream OpenIntel API down returns 5xx
- Insufficient payment or x402 payment failure blocks the request
- Rate limiting if too many calls in quick succession

## How this service works

Pay-per-call proxy for the OpenIntel API.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with metadata (window strategy used, whether fallback widening occurred, cache age in seconds, truncation flag) and a results array of first buyers, each containing the wallet address, timestamp of first buy, and the first transaction ID for that wallet.
