Fetch the USD price of one TAO (#9609) with the derivation behind it, plus the recent series. Use this to convert any TAO-denominated figure in this API into USD. There is no TAO/USD pair on chain, so the number is COMPOSED: a liquidity-weighted median across qualifying wTAO/WETH pools, rejecting pools more than 2% from the unweighted median, refusing to publish below a two-pool quorum, multiplied through an ETH/USDC anchor leg (ADR 0025). `latest` carries the price together with price_basis, eth_usd, block_number, pool_count and the per-pool breakdown, so the figure and its audit trail always describe the same block. IMPORTANT: a null usd_per_tao is a STATED OUTCOME, not missing data -- price_basis `insufficient_pools` means the quorum was not met at that block. Read it as 'not priceable', never as a zero price, and never substitute 0. window is 1h, 24h (default), 7d or 30d; change_usd/change_pct describe movement across the RETURNED window over priced points only. point_count and priced_point_count are separate because a gap between them means part of the window could not be priced. The series begins 2026-08-02 at about one point per minute, so a 30d window today returns everything that exists rather than a month -- oldest_observed_at says how far back it reaches. Mainnet only.
