What it returns

The combined value locked, in USD, in every protocol built on a copy of this protocol's code, one point per UTC day at 00:00, over a trailing window of days, oldest first. The total only: the forks one by one are GET /protocol-analysis/protocol-forks/{slug}, with the value locked in each today. The slug is the one GET /protocol-analysis/protocols lists. A protocol that is unknown, or that nothing forks, answers 404.
