## 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 watch-trends-socket-session-creator-96ec937a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Set up a real-time trend-watching session for me that stays active for 60 minutes so I can start receiving live trend updates.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to establish a persistent, real-time session for receiving trend updates over a socket connection, especially when you want to control how long the session remains active via a TTL. It complements the sibling POST /watches endpoint, which likely registers specific watch targets — this endpoint creates the underlying session infrastructure first.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing ttl_minutes value may return a 400 Bad Request
- TTL exceeds maximum allowed value, resulting in a validation error
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) prevents session creation
- Expired or invalid authentication causes a 401 Unauthorized
- Server-side socket capacity limits may return a 503 Service Unavailable

## How this service works

watch-trends POST /socket/session

## Output

Returns a session object containing a session ID or token, a WebSocket or socket connection endpoint, and an expiry timestamp corresponding to the configured TTL. The agent can use these credentials to open a live socket connection and receive real-time trend event streams for the duration of the session.
