## 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 bea-inflation-data-via-etf-macro-intelligence-a777bea3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the BEA inflation data for 2024 so I can see what the official US price index numbers look like?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official US inflation data sourced directly from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, particularly in a macro or crypto-investment context alongside ETF flow and institutional fund data. Prefer this over generic economic data APIs when you need BEA-specific data integrated into a broader macro intelligence workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or future year parameter returns empty data array with success:true
- BEA upstream API unavailable causes failure or empty response
- Missing required authentication/payment header returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed query parameter may return empty dataset

## How this service works

Crypto ETF flows, institutional fund data, and US macroeconomic events.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' array containing BEA inflation records for the requested year (or all available years if no year is specified), a 'success' boolean, and the endpoint path. The data array contains official US macroeconomic inflation figures sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
