# Xynaptic Energy Opportunity

> Xynaptic Energy Opportunity is a paid API for AI agents from api.xynaptic.io, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-30).

Returns the cheapest energy consumption windows in the next 24 hours, detects renewable surplus periods, and calculates expected savings to tell an agent exactly when to run high-consumption devices.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 xynaptic-energy-opportunity-64fb4fb4
```

Example prompt: When is the best time to charge my EV and run the dishwasher today — give me the cheapest energy windows and any green energy surplus periods in the next 24 hours so I can save money.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a pre-computed, actionable recommendation on WHEN to consume electricity — rather than raw grid price data. It is ideal for EV charging schedulers, smart home automation agents, and energy cost optimizers that need a clear 'act now vs. wait' decision signal with savings estimates, without having to process raw market data themselves.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream grid data unavailable — may return empty or stale windows
- No renewable surplus detected — response still valid but surplus fields empty
- Rate limit or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient
- Query parameters malformed — returns validation error
- Data freshness lag if grid pricing feeds are delayed

## How this service works

Xynaptic Energy Opportunity — the premium signal: cheapest consumption windows in the next 24h, renewable surplus detection, expected savings. Tells an agent WHEN to act: charge EV now or in 2h, run the dishwasher at 14:00. The decision product of the energy vertical.

## Output

Returns a structured signal indicating the cheapest consumption windows within the next 24 hours, periods of renewable energy surplus, recommended action times for specific devices (e.g. charge EV now vs. at 14:00), and estimated savings figures compared to charging at an arbitrary time.
