## 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-early-buyers-hunter-51f3a2c6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the early buyers for token contract 0xABC...123 on Ethereum — I want to see the wallets that got in within the first 10 minutes of launch so I can track whether they're smart money.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need granular, on-chain early buyer intelligence for a specific token — particularly when building trading bots that rely on smart money tracking, copy trading, or insider detection. Prefer this over general blockchain explorers when you need ranked, structured early-buyer data rather than raw transaction logs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent token contract address returns empty result or 404
- Unsupported chain identifier returns an error
- Token too old or indexed data unavailable returns partial or empty dataset
- Rate limiting or insufficient USDC balance triggers 402 payment required
- Malformed POST body returns 400 validation error
