## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability tickerlayer-forex-symbol-catalog-b3cce898
```

Example prompt: Pull up the full list of forex currency pair symbols available on TickerLayer so I can see which FX pairs I can query.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate all valid forex symbols before constructing queries for price or market-status endpoints, or when building a symbol selector. Prefer this over the stocks, ETF, crypto, commodities, or indices sibling endpoints when the user specifically needs currency pair (FX) symbols.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure (402) if the x402 USDC payment of $0.02 is not processed correctly
- Service unavailability returning a 5xx error if the TickerLayer API is down
- Empty or stale symbol list if the catalog has not been recently updated
