## 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 orchard-data-fx-rates-9cf1f5fd
```

Example prompt: What are today's FX rates for major currencies like EUR, GBP, and JPY with USD as the base?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, per-call FX rate lookup for major currency pairs and are already operating within an x402/USDC micropayment infrastructure. Ideal for AI agents that need occasional forex data without committing to a subscription-based currency API. Best for scenarios involving USD, EUR, GBP, or JPY conversions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported base currency code returns an error
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) results in 402 response blocking data
- Stale or unavailable upstream rate data may return outdated values
- Missing required 'base' query parameter may default to USD or return an error
