## 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 owlchart-crypto-liquidations-api-2fa992d3
```

Example prompt: What were the total long and short liquidations for BTC over the last 24 hours? I want the USD amounts from OwlChart.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need aggregate liquidation volumes (long vs short, in USD) for a specific cryptocurrency over a defined time window. It is ideal for detecting liquidation cascades, monitoring derivatives market stress, or building risk dashboards. Prefer this over generic market data APIs when liquidation-specific metrics are the primary need.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'coin' query parameter returns a validation error
- Invalid coin ticker (e.g. misspelled symbol) may return no data or an error
- Hours outside the 1–168 range may be rejected or clamped
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required error
- Temporary exchange data unavailability may result in incomplete or stale aggregates
