Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://www.stratalize.com/api/x402/bls-inflation-componentsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, verifiable, category-level CPI inflation data sourced directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics — especially when building pricing strategies, contract escalation clauses, cost pressure models, or treasury assumptions that require cryptographic auditability. Prefer over general macroeconomic endpoints when you need a specific inflation component (food, energy, housing, medical care, transportation, or core CPI) rather than a headline number.
Side effects
- Invalid category enum value returns 400 error
- BLS data temporarily unavailable returns 503
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) returns 402
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429
