## 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 ausref-country-brief-all-government-reference-series-for-one-country-3485a259
```

Example prompt: Pull the full government reference brief for New Zealand — I need every official series they have: policy rate, GST, corporate and personal tax, minimum wage, CPI, FX, and public holidays, all with their source URLs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need all reference series for a single Australasian country in a single call, rather than querying individual fact endpoints. It is the most cost-efficient option ($0.01) when you need more than 3-4 data points for one country at once. Prefer this over the cross-country compare endpoint when you only need one country but need the full breadth of data series.

## Known failure modes

- Country not supported — endpoint refuses requests for countries outside the 8 covered Australasian nations
- Invalid or unrecognised country identifier returns an error
- Stale data flag set if government source has not been re-confirmed recently
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 transaction is not completed
- Rate limit exceeded on free tier (50 calls/day)

## How this service works

Australasian government reference data for 8 countries as cited JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT/GST and VAT registration thresholds, CPI, corporate, personal and withholding tax, social contributions, minimum wages, statutory interest, official FX rates, filing deadlines and public holidays (coverage varies by country). Every value carries its official source URL and last-confirmed date. Single facts $0.003; country brief (every series for one country) $0.01; cross-country compare (one series, up to 10 countries) $0.02; tax-ID and VAT-number checks $0.003; computed answers (VAT, income tax, working days, minimum-wage check) $0.01-$0.02. Pay per call in USDC on Base via x402 or MPP, no signup, or by card with credit packs or monthly plans on one key valid across all 7 regional services. Free tier: GET /catalog, plus a free email key with 50 answer calls a day, commercial use allowed. Finished answers, one cited dossier per call (supported countries vary per job; others are refused free): cost this hire (wage-floor verdict, contributions, employer cost) $0.50; charge this sale (which VAT applies, net/VAT/gross) $0.50; charge this sale certified (plus a signed VAT-rate extract) $0.75; invoice due date and statutory late interest $0.40; country evidence pack (brief plus signed extracts) $0.25; hire compare $0.75 for 2 countries, $1.00 for 3-5; next filings (VAT, PAYE, corporate-tax due dates rolled for holidays) $0.35.

Free trial: 3 computed-answer calls per day per IP on POST /v1/answers/* with header X-Free-Trial: 1 (without it, the normal x402 402; once used up, the 402 carries free_trial_resets_at). MCP answer tools use the trial automatically when no api_key is passed. Every series of the evaluation country is free. Card credit (same per-call price as x402): /pricing.

## Output

A JSON object containing every available government reference series for the requested country, including central-bank policy rates, VAT/GST rates and registration thresholds, CPI, corporate/personal/withholding tax rates, social contributions, minimum wages, statutory interest rates, official FX rates, filing deadlines, and public holidays. Each value includes its official source URL and last-confirmed date, plus a stale flag if the data may be outdated.
