## 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 allthebot-central-bank-rates-fc26cd0c
```

Example prompt: Show me today's central bank policy rates ranked from highest to lowest, and give me the carry-trade spread rankings using JPY as the funding currency.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-country view of central bank policy rates in a single call, especially with carry-trade spread ranking built in. It is superior to scraping individual central bank websites or using a generic FX rate API (like the ECB endpoint) when the goal is macroeconomic policy rate comparison or FX carry strategy analysis across ~40 countries simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported funding currency code returns an error or empty spread rankings
- Countries filter with unrecognized country codes may return partial results or an error
- BIS data may have a lag of hours to days for very recent rate decisions
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request with a 402 response
- Malformed query parameters (e.g. countries list exceeding 200 chars) may return a 400 error

## How this service works

Central bank policy interest rates (Fed, ECB, BoE, BoJ, SNB and ~40 countries) from the BIS, ranked, with an FX carry-trade spread ranking versus a funding currency (e.g. JPY, CHF). Macro data API.

## Output

Returns a structured list of central bank policy interest rates for approximately 40 countries sourced from the BIS, ranked by rate level. When a funding currency (e.g. JPY or CHF) is specified, also returns carry-trade spread rankings showing the yield differential between each country's rate and the funding currency rate.
