## 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 x402engine-crypto-search-api-e0044aef
```

Example prompt: Search for information about the coin with the symbol 'SOL' — I want to know what it is and get its key details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search or identify a cryptocurrency by name or symbol and want pay-per-call micropayment pricing with no subscription. Prefer this over free public APIs when building autonomous AI agents that need metered, on-chain payment access to crypto data.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or ambiguous query returns no results or irrelevant coins
- Unknown coin name or symbol returns empty result set
- Payment failure (402) if USDC/USDm balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Misspelled coin name may return no matches

## How this service works

Search for a coin by name or symbol to get its CoinGecko ID

## Output
