## 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 bizintel-api-cost-of-living-quality-of-life-lookup-516b8211 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the cost of living score and quality of life index for Barcelona, Spain? I need the confidence level too so I can use it for a salary benchmarking report.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call cost-of-living or quality-of-life score for a specific city or region, especially in B2B contexts like salary benchmarking, talent relocation, or compensation planning. Prefer this over general web search when you need a structured numeric score with a confidence rating and a known data vintage date.

## Known failure modes

- Location not supported — 'supported: false' returned with empty result
- Low confidence data available — warnings array populated with caveats
- Ambiguous city name with multiple matches — may return unexpected region
- Payment failure via x402 — call not executed, no data returned
- Missing or malformed location input — likely 400 error or empty result

## How this service works

Fetches cost of living, safety, and healthcare score indices for an urban area from the Teleport API.

## Output

A JSON object containing a numeric quality_of_life score (e.g. 82.3), a cost_of_living_score (e.g. 1.2), a confidence level (e.g. 'high'), a data_as_of date string (e.g. '2026-06'), a boolean indicating whether the location is supported, any warnings, and a standard informational disclaimer.
