## 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

```

Example prompt: What are today's official WTI and Brent crude oil spot prices, and how have they changed over the past day, week, month, and year? Also give me the Brent-WTI spread and where prices stand in their 52-week range.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, government-sourced daily crude oil spot prices (WTI and Brent) with multi-period change metrics and spread data in a single call. Prefer it over financial data APIs when official EIA provenance is important, when you need pre-computed change percentages and 52-week context, or when you want a low-cost ($0.002/call) structured data feed without setting up a full EIA API integration. Not suitable for real-time intraday futures prices or live trading feeds.

## Known failure modes

- EIA source data not yet updated for the current day (e.g. weekends or holidays may show previous business day figures)
- Upstream EIA data unavailability causing stale or missing prices
- Network timeout if the x402 payment or API gateway is temporarily unreachable
- No query parameters accepted — passing extra params will be ignored or may return an error

## How this service works

Crude oil prices: WTI and Brent daily spot prices from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), with 1-day, 1-week, 1-month and 1-year changes, 52-week range and position in it, and the Brent-WTI spread. Official daily figures, not live futures quotes. Data, not trading advice.

## Output

Data sourced from official EIA figures, not live futures quotes.
