## 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 2s-commodity-prices-api-294ba46a
```

Example prompt: What's the current price of WTI crude oil — and how much has it moved since yesterday?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, FRED-sourced commodity price data for energy (WTI, Brent, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, heating oil, propane), metals (copper, aluminum), or agricultural commodities (corn, wheat, sugar) — especially when you need no API key, pay-per-call via USDC, and ground-truth government-sourced data rather than real-time exchange feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid commodity symbol returns an error or empty result
- FRED data may lag by one trading day — intraday prices are not available
- Network or payment failure returns HTTP 402 or 5xx
- Omitting the commodity parameter returns all commodities, which may be larger than expected

## How this service works

Latest benchmark commodity price with the prior value + % change. Pass commodity for one, or omit for all. Commodities: wti, brent, natural-gas, gasoline, diesel, heating-oil, propane, copper, aluminum, corn, wheat, sugar — i.e. crude oil (WTI + Brent), natural gas, gasoline, diesel, heating oil, propane, gold, copper, aluminum, corn, wheat, sugar. Each result names the FRED series ID + unit ($/barrel, $/gallon, $/troy oz, $/metric ton...). Daily benchmarks report a daily date; global-price series are monthly. Source: EIA / LBMA / IMF via FRED (St. Louis Fed).

## Output

Returns a JSON array of commodity price objects, each with the commodity name, current price, previous price, percent change, unit (e.g. $/barrel), as-of date, FRED series ID, and source attribution from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
