## 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 quantoracle-live-volatility-b6be10e2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the live volatility for ETH right now? I need the current real-time number for the ETH/USD pair.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live volatility figures for a specific crypto asset (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.) and want a quantitative, model-driven measure rather than a derived or historical metric. Particularly useful in trading, risk management, or dynamic position-sizing workflows where up-to-the-minute volatility is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported asset symbol returns an error or empty response
- Missing 'asset' field in request body causes a validation error
- Service unavailable or market data feed interruption may return a 5xx error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) may block the request
