## 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 agentstall-za-sarb-rates-c1c4aae2
```

Example prompt: What are the current South African Reserve Bank rates — I need the repo rate, prime lending rate, and the latest ZAR/USD exchange rate.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, up-to-date South African Reserve Bank interest rates (repo and prime) and the official ZAR/USD exchange rate in a single call, especially within agentic workflows that already use x402 micropayment infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required – call was made without a valid x402 USDC micropayment; a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header is returned
- Rate data temporarily unavailable if SARB source is unreachable
- Stale asOf date if upstream data has not been refreshed recently

## How this service works

South African interest rates, inflation and rand exchange rates from the South African Reserve Bank (SARB): repo rate, prime lending rate, CPI and PPI inflation, and rand (ZAR) per US dollar, pound, euro and yen, each with its as-of date. Useful for loan and interest calculations, pricing in rand and economic context.

## Output

A JSON object containing the repo rate, prime lending rate, and ZAR/USD exchange rate, each with a value and an asOf date indicating when the rate was last updated.
