## 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 the-stall-short-interest-intel-0d82ab1c
```

Example prompt: What's the current short interest data for GME — I want to know the short float percentage, days to cover, and any other short squeeze metrics you can find.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need short interest data for US equities without requiring API key registration or account setup. It is well-suited for autonomous AI agents that can handle x402 micropayments on Base mainnet. At $0.021 per call it is cost-effective for single-ticker lookups or small-batch research workflows. Prefer this over broker-specific APIs when you need a frictionless, pay-per-use model for short selling intelligence.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or empty result
- Ticker exists but short interest data is unavailable for that security
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 response with no data
- Rate limiting or network errors on the Base mainnet payment rail
- Delisted or OTC tickers may not be supported
