## 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 scriptmasterlabs-coingecko-categories-api-0d6ceb57
```

Example prompt: Pull the full list of CoinGecko crypto categories with their market cap and volume data — I want to see how sectors like DeFi, Layer 1, and NFTs are performing right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, sector-level view of the cryptocurrency market organized by CoinGecko categories, especially for dashboards, portfolio analysis, or sector research. Prefer it over individual coin lookups when you need market-wide category aggregates. The micro-cost x402 USDC pricing makes it suitable for frequent polling in automated agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — x402 payment header missing or insufficient USDC triggers 402 response
- Upstream CoinGecko API unavailable or rate-limited, resulting in empty or error response
- Invalid or unsupported properties filter parameter returns malformed or empty result
- Render.com cold start latency causing timeout on first request

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, and compliance APIs. Settled in USDC on Base via x402. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/rwa-aggregates, /x402/gas-tracker).

## Output
