## 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 otto-ai-news-recaps-crypto-market-brief-13816b79
```

Example prompt: Give me today's crypto market recap — I want a quick rundown of BTC, ETH, and SOL price action, any big DeFi news, and what levels to watch.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pre-synthesized narrative crypto market summary rather than raw price data. Ideal for daily briefing workflows, conversational agents answering 'what's happening in crypto today,' or any use case where a human-readable digest of BTC/ETH/SOL moves plus DeFi context is more useful than raw OHLCV feeds. At $0.002/call it is cost-effective for frequent polling.

## Known failure modes

- Stale data: staleness_sec > 0 and validUntil exceeded — degraded:true flag set in meta
- Payment failure: x402 USDC payment not completed, returns 402 Payment Required
- Upstream data unavailable: recap may be empty or partial with degraded:true
- Rate limiting or network errors from upstream market data providers

## How this service works

A tight 4-6 sentence crypto market recap an agent can ingest whole — direction and why, the 2-3 developments that matter, anything notable on the top-10 board — plus the ranked stories as typed fields: stories[] (rank, title, whyItMatters, url, publishedAt, source; linked by exact title, null when unmatched). Distilled from the Otto news engine; served while fresh, refreshed on demand.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: a narrative 'recap' paragraph summarizing market moves and key developments, a 'topTen' string listing top-10 crypto assets with prices and % changes, a 'marketBrief' field with a full formatted brief, timestamps for when the data was generated and when the upstream feed was generated, a staleness indicator, and a 'degraded' flag indicating data quality. Price example: BTC $94,012 (-2.1%), SOL +3.2%.
