## 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 openverbs-crypto-token-price-lookup-db530ed5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current USD prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the USDT stablecoin on Ethereum (contract 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7)?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current spot USD prices for one or more tokens in a single call, especially when you have a mix of CoinGecko-listed coins and EVM on-chain token addresses. It is ideal for portfolio valuation, real-time dashboards, or enriching transaction data with current prices. For historical price data, use the sibling historical price endpoint instead.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown coin IDs returned in `notFound` array rather than causing an error
- Malformed coin ID format (e.g. missing chain prefix) results in the ID being placed in `notFound`
- Exceeding 50 coins per request returns a validation error
- Network or upstream data provider outage may return a 5xx error
- Payment failure or insufficient balance returns a 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Crypto prices: current USD spot price for one or more tokens/coins by coin id (e.g. "coingecko:bitcoin", "coingecko:ethereum", or "ethereum:0xdAC17..."). Real-time bitcoin, ethereum and ERC-20 token price feed from an open, redistribution-OK source. Unknown ids are returned in `notFound`.

## Output

A map of each recognized coin ID to its current USD price, plus a `notFound` array listing any coin IDs that could not be resolved.
