## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, per-call access to market volatility data without a subscription commitment, especially in agent pipelines that pay per use via USDC (x402). Prefer this over subscription-based financial data providers when building cost-efficient agents that only query volatility occasionally, or when you need an AI-momentum-aware trading data source that integrates with crypto payment rails.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid asset symbol parameter returns an error
- Unauthenticated request without valid API key or x402 USDC payment returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Asset not supported by the API returns empty data or 404
- Downstream data source outage may return stale or empty data field

## How this service works

Agent-ready trading & market-data API: prices, indicators, prediction markets, macro, and an AI momentum score. Pay per call with x402 (USDC) or an API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing volatility data for the requested asset along with a timestamp metadata field. The data field holds the volatility metrics (e.g., realized or implied volatility values, score, or index) and the meta field includes a timestamp indicating when the data was retrieved.
