## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability tickorigin-dev-momentum-2a6b8007
```

Example prompt: What's the current GitHub developer-activity momentum score for Ethereum on TickOrigin — is development momentum trending up or down right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a time-series momentum signal (rate-of-change) for developer activity on a specific crypto token, rather than a snapshot ranking across all tokens. Prefer this over the sibling cross-sectional ranking endpoint when you care about a single token's trajectory rather than comparative positioning.

## Known failure modes

- Token not tracked by TickOrigin — 404 or empty result
- Payment not provided or rejected — 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing token parameter — 400 Bad Request
- Rate limit exceeded — 429 Too Many Requests
- Service temporarily unavailable — 503

## How this service works
