## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability blockchain-iq-macro-economic-indicators-c8981b56
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need analyst-verified macroeconomic indicator data (like CPI) specifically contextualized for crypto investors, at a low per-call cost of $0.02 USDC. Prefer this over generic financial data APIs when you want curated, research-quality macro metrics without institutional subscription costs, and when the output will be used alongside crypto market analysis from the same Blockchain IQ ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — 402 returned if USDC micropayment not included
- Invalid or malformed properties filter — may return empty data array or 400 error
- Data temporarily unavailable — analyst-verified data may lag real-time sources
- Rate limiting — excessive calls may result in 429 response
- Stale data — as_of date may not reflect same-day updates
