## 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 stockwaves-crypto-microstructure-data-api-1d28e42f
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest microstructure data for Bitcoin from StockWaves right now — I want to see order flow, liquidity signals, and any quant momentum indicators available.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time crypto market microstructure signals — especially order flow, liquidity depth, or quant momentum — without the overhead of API key registration. Ideal for autonomous AI agents that need pay-per-call, no-subscription data access via USDC micropayments on Base. Prefer over traditional data providers when operating in a trustless, agentic context.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance for x402 micropayment — payment fails and data is not returned
- Invalid or unsupported cryptocurrency symbol — returns 400 or empty result
- Rate limiting or provider downtime — returns 503 or timeout
- Malformed input properties parameter — returns 400 validation error
- Network congestion on Base chain causing x402 payment delay

## How this service works

Crypto perp microstructure (Binance public, live): funding rate, premium/basis (bp), open interest (+USD), taker buy/sell ratio, 24h realized vol. Query: ?symbol=BTCUSDT (major USDT perps).

## Output

Returns structured crypto market microstructure data including real-time order flow metrics, bid-ask spreads, liquidity depth, and quantitative trading signals for the requested cryptocurrency asset. Payment is deducted as $0.01 USDC via x402 on Base per call.
