## 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 scalpstream-ranked-options-feed-ae9b1533
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest ScalpStream ranked options picks for today and show me the top 5 picks with their disclaimer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a ranked list of options trading picks from a structured research publication feed, especially for short-term or intraday options strategies. Prefer this over ScalpStream's crypto scalp feed when the user specifically needs equity options rather than crypto. Use this instead of generic market data APIs when you want pre-ranked, curated research picks rather than raw price data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment is not properly attached — returns 402 Payment Required
- Empty or null picks array if no picks are available for the requested as_of date
- Invalid as_of date format may result in an error or fallback to the latest available picks
- Rate limiting or service unavailability may return 5xx errors
- Stale data if the feed has not been recently updated

## How this service works

ScalpStream US equity options screener: short-dated (0-30 DTE) options candidates ranked by composite score, with ATR%, relative volume, RSI, VWAP distance and implied volatility (impersonal research publication)

## Output

Returns a structured response containing a ranked array of options picks, the as_of timestamp indicating when the picks were generated, a pick count integer, the publication name, and a legal disclaimer string. The picks represent impersonal research publication output, not personalized financial advice.
