## 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 wickedapi-market-clock-447fb47e
```

Example prompt: Is the stock market currently open or closed right now? I need to know the current trading session status before I place a trade.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to determine real-time market open/close status before executing trades, scheduling market-dependent workflows, or gating any logic that should only run during active trading sessions. Prefer this over manual timezone math or static schedule lookups since it accounts for holidays and early closes.

## Known failure modes

- Network or API unavailability returning 5xx errors
- Payment failure if x402 USDC balance is insufficient
- Malformed response with empty data object if upstream data source is unavailable
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window
