# Stratalize EIA Energy Public Snapshot

> Stratalize EIA Energy Public Snapshot is a paid API for AI agents from www.stratalize.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns current EIA WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices as a cryptographically signed snapshot from the US Energy Information Administration.

## 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 stratalize-eia-energy-public-snapshot-34def839
```

Example prompt: What are the current EIA WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices? I need verifiable energy price data for a commodity brief I'm putting together.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs current, authoritative US energy commodity spot prices (WTI crude and natural gas) from the EIA, especially when cryptographic verifiability of the data is important for audit trails, compliance workflows, or trust-sensitive automation. Prefer this over scraping or unverified feeds when you need a signed receipt for the data.

## Known failure modes

- EIA API not configured — returns error indicating missing API key or configuration
- EIA upstream unavailable — returns error if the EIA data feed is temporarily down
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before data is returned
- Stale data — freshness timestamp may indicate delayed data if EIA has not published a recent update

## How this service works

Stratalize — attested finance, legal, healthcare, and compliance intelligence. Signed, independently verifiable receipt on every call (trust.stratalize.com/verify). EIA WTI crude and natural gas spot prices when EIA API is configured. Source: US Energy Information Administration. Use when current energy price data is needed for a commodity brief, input cost analysis, or energy sector context

## Output

Returns current WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices sourced from the US Energy Information Administration, along with a freshness timestamp, data source label, a cryptographic receipt ID, and a URL to independently verify the response at trust.stratalize.com/verify. The entire response is ML-DSA-65 signed.
