## 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 payweave-exchange-rates-live-fx-rates-e791ae35 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current live exchange rates from USD to EUR, GBP, and JPY right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time FX rates with a simple base+target query model and are comfortable paying per call in USDC via x402. Prefer it over free-tier alternatives when freshness and reliability matter, and over batch historical endpoints when you need live spot rates.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid base currency code returns a validation error
- Unknown currency code may return empty or partial results
- Rate data may be slightly delayed relative to real-time market; check last_updated timestamp
- Payment failure (402) if USDC micropayment is not fulfilled
- Network timeout if upstream Abstract data feed is unavailable

## How this service works

Real-time foreign-exchange rates and currency conversion.

## Output

A JSON object containing the base currency code, a Unix timestamp of when the rates were last updated, and a map of target currency codes to their exchange rates relative to the base currency.
