## 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 saylor-innovations-cftc-commitments-of-traders-api-ca7100b5
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 12 weeks of CFTC Commitments of Traders data for CRUDE OIL futures — I want to see the speculator, hedger and small trader net positions and open interest over time.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, parsed CFTC COT positioning data for any futures market without manually downloading and parsing CFTC weekly reports. Ideal for monitoring speculator vs hedger sentiment shifts, building COT-based trading signals, or enriching macro analysis with positioning context. Preferable to raw CFTC downloads when you need JSON-formatted, historically arrayed data on demand for a specific market.

## Known failure modes

- Market name fragment matches no known CFTC market — returns empty or null commodity field
- Ambiguous market name matches multiple markets — returns other_matching_markets list requiring refinement
- CFTC source data not yet updated for the current week — latest_report reflects prior release date
- Invalid weeks parameter (outside 1-26) — may return default 8 weeks or an error
- Network timeout or upstream CFTC data unavailability
