## 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 x402-chain-intel-arbitrum-gas-price-fe3d1a62 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current gas price on Arbitrum right now — give me base fee, priority fee, and whether the network is congested so I can decide whether to submit my trade.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time Arbitrum-specific gas data for automated trading bots or DeFi strategies that require low-latency, per-call gas intelligence. It is preferable over generic multi-chain gas APIs when Arbitrum cost optimization is the primary concern, and over free public RPC endpoints when reliability and structured pricing data matter. The x402 micropayment model makes it suitable for high-frequency bot usage without subscription commitments.

## Known failure modes

- Arbitrum RPC node unavailable — upstream connectivity error
- Payment not received or x402 payment header missing — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or malformed request body — returns 400 Bad Request
- Network congestion causes stale data — gas values may be slightly delayed
- Rate limit exceeded for the pricing tier — returns 429 Too Many Requests
