## 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 afriref-all-series-snapshot-38375029
```

Example prompt: Give me a full snapshot of all reference series — policy rate, VAT, minimum wage, and public holidays — for every African country afriref.dev tracks, all at once.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need reference data across multiple countries or series simultaneously and want to avoid making many individual per-country/per-series calls. Ideal for building dashboards, compliance checks, or enrichment pipelines that require a broad view of African fiscal and regulatory data in one shot.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if the dataset is large — retry with backoff
- Stale flag is true on returned records — data may be past its expected update cycle, treat with caution
- Partial dataset returned if some series are temporarily unavailable

## How this service works

Snapshot of every series, all countries

## Output

A collection of records for every supported country and series combination. Each record includes the country (ISO code), series identifier, current value (numeric for rates/wages, array of date+name objects for holidays), effective-from date, last-confirmed date, source name and URL, a staleness boolean, optional unit, notes, and where applicable: an effective combined rate and a breakdown of statutory rate components (e.g. Ghana's VAT + NHIL + GETFund).
