## 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 asiapulse-745c6377
```

Example prompt: What's the current macro and geopolitical stress level across Asia-Pacific? I want the regional stress score, which economies are flagged, their exact triggers like debt or inflation, the FX rates vs USD with peg status, and the key energy driver right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose AsiaPulse when you need a fast, pay-per-call aggregated macro and geopolitical risk signal specifically for the Asia-Pacific region, synthesizing IMF fundamentals, FX rates, and energy drivers into a single scored pulse. Prefer it over building your own multi-source macro pipeline when low-latency, low-cost signal retrieval matters. It complements LatAmPulse and GeoPulse for global regional coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream data source (IMF DataMapper, exchangerate.host, Yahoo Finance) temporarily unavailable — may return stale or partial data
- x402 payment failure — if USDC payment on Base is not completed or insufficient, request is rejected with 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or server error on lonestaroracle.xyz — 500 or 503 response
- No parameters are accepted; any query parameters passed are silently ignored

## How this service works

Asia regional macro + geopolitical stress pulse (no params)

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: a named region ('Asia-Pacific'), a numeric stress_score (0-10), a regional_stress label (STABLE / MODERATE / ELEVATED), a list of stressed_economies each with country name and specific flag strings (e.g. 'govt debt 206.5% GDP'), a currencies map with FX rate (units per USD) and peg status per currency, and an energy_driver object with Brent crude or natural gas price and 30-day change percentage. Source attribution is included.

 "description": "Asia-Pacific regional risk pulse made agent-callable. One x402 call returns a regional stress signal (STABLE / MODERATE / ELEVATED with a 0-10 score) built from the macro fundamentals of 12 Asia economies — IMF GDP growth, inflation, current-account balance and government debt — plus FX rates vs USD with each currency's peg status (USD peg / floating / managed), and the regional energy driver (Brent crude, natural gas) that dominates Gulf and North-African fiscal balances. Flags the stressed economies by name with the exact triggers (e.g. Japan: govt debt 206% GDP; Pakistan: currency+inflation stress). The macro/geopolitical read a risk or trading agent needs on the hottest region in the world, served pay-per-call. $0.05 in USDC on Base via x402. Sources: IMF DataMapper, exchangerate.host, Yahoo Finance (all free/public). Sibling of LatAmPulse and GeoPulse."
