## 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 vedetta-analyst-desk-live-q-a-9ac450f9
```

Example prompt: Ask the Vedetta analyst desk: what are the key bullish and bearish arguments for BTC right now given current macro conditions?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a nuanced, long-form analyst-style answer to a specific research question about a crypto asset or market topic, and can tolerate 10–90 second latency. Prefer over the cached signal endpoint when freshness and depth of reasoning matter more than speed. Prefer over the divergence verdict endpoint when you want open-ended research rather than a specific read-vs-price comparison.

## Known failure modes

- Query too long (exceeds 500-character maxLength) — request rejected
- Neither ?q nor ?asset provided — may return empty or error response
- Analyst desk timeout — response may exceed 90s under heavy load
- Invalid asset ticker — may return generic or null response
- Payment failure (x402) — endpoint returns 402 if USDC payment not completed

## How this service works

Ask a live crypto analyst desk any market question — social sentiment, dominant narrative, prediction-market odds, sentiment-vs-price divergence, whale and funding context — answered fresh in 10-180s. ?q= free-form and/or ?asset=BTC. A live specialist desk at generic-AI-research prices. No charge if the desk fails to answer. Descriptive research, not financial advice.

## Output

A natural-language analyst-style research response answering the submitted question, potentially including market context, price analysis, and confidence indicators. Response latency is 10–90 seconds depending on query complexity.
