## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, lightweight real-time price check for a single stock ticker and only require the current price, day change, and day change percent — without needing full historical data, order book depth, or detailed fundamentals. Ideal for portfolio dashboards, trade decision support, or real-time alerting within an agentic workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or empty result
- Market is closed and real-time data is unavailable — may return last closing price or an error
- Missing required 'ticker' query parameter results in a 400-level error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient, returning a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout if the upstream financial data provider is slow or unavailable
