## 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 agent-newsstand-us-macro-indicators-d089a8de
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest US macro snapshot — CPI, non-farm payrolls, unemployment rate, and oil price — and tell me which ones have freshly dropped today.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, token-efficient bundle of the four core US macro indicators (CPI, NFP, U3, oil) in a single call, especially when you need to detect whether a fresh release has just dropped. Prefer this over general financial data APIs when you want agent-optimized, pay-per-call access without subscription overhead and when release-flag awareness is important for timing decisions.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if USDC micropayment via x402 is not included or fails
- Data may lag if upstream macro data sources are delayed around release windows
- No parameters to filter by indicator type — always returns full macro bundle
- Service unavailable (5xx) if upstream data provider is down around major release times

## How this service works

## Output

A JSON object containing the latest published values for US CPI, Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), U3 unemployment rate, and oil price, along with release flags indicating whether each indicator was freshly released (e.g. released today or in the current cycle), and associated timestamps or release metadata.
