## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability wickedapi-long-short-ratio-e1284be9
```

Example prompt: What's the current long-short ratio for Bitcoin across major exchanges? I want to know if the market is leaning heavily long or short right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to assess market crowd positioning or sentiment in crypto futures markets. Prefer it over general price endpoints when the goal is to understand whether traders are net long or short, identify overcrowded trades, or build contrarian signals. Ideal for quantitative trading agents, sentiment dashboards, and risk management workflows that need to know how leveraged the market is in a given direction.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid asset symbol returns an error or empty data object
- Unsupported exchange or time period parameter may return empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) may prevent access
- Stale data if the underlying exchange feed is delayed
- Network timeout returning no response for real-time data requests
