## 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-us-trade-data-via-etf-macro-intelligence-cee85704
```

Example prompt: Pull the BEA trade balance for goods (BalGds) for the year 2024 so I can see where the US trade deficit stands.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, programmatic access to US BEA trade balance data filtered by year and specific trade indicator, especially in macro-aware crypto or institutional finance workflows where BEA data is needed alongside ETF flow analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported year returns empty data array
- Unrecognized indicator value returns empty or null data
- Missing required query parameters may return an error or empty response
- BEA upstream data unavailability can cause empty data arrays
- Network or server errors on the Vercel deployment return HTTP 5xx

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a success flag, the endpoint path, and a data array containing BEA trade statistics for the requested year and indicator (e.g. balance of goods figures).
