## 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 scrapemole-quotes-ticker-search-7872b1c2
```

Example prompt: Can you find the ticker symbol and exchange for 'Nvidia' so I know which one to use for a stock quote?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a company name or partial ticker and need to resolve it to a precise symbol and exchange before fetching a quote. Prefer this over guessing symbols directly, especially for less well-known companies, international equities, ETFs, or crypto assets where symbol ambiguity is common. No API key required — pay-per-call via USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400 error and no charge
- No matching results returns count:0 with empty results array
- Ambiguous or very short queries may return irrelevant matches
- Payment failure via x402 results in no charge and no response
- Rate or quota limits on Yahoo Finance may cause upstream errors

## How this service works

Pay-per-call market data for agents: live-ish stock, ETF, index, FX and crypto quotes (price, change, day range, 52-week range, volume), batch quotes for up to 10 symbols, OHLCV price history, ticker search, and CoinGecko crypto prices with market cap and 24h change. Public market data only, no keys, no accounts. USDC via x402; failed calls are never charged.

Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the work and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://quotes.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms

## Output

A JSON object containing the search query, source (Yahoo Finance), result count, and an array of matching assets each with symbol, name, type (EQUITY/ETF/INDEX/etc.), exchange, sector, and industry.
