# BLS Time Series Data Proxy

> BLS Time Series Data Proxy is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Fetches US Bureau of Labor Statistics time series data (CPI, employment, wages) by series ID using the public BLS v1 API without requiring an API key

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 bls-time-series-data-proxy-764aea5a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest CPI data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for series ID CUUR0000SA0 — I want to see the most recent periods and values?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, no-API-key access to official US Bureau of Labor Statistics time series data (CPI, employment, wages) and want a proxied, agent-friendly interface with x402 micropayment support. Prefer this over direct BLS API calls when operating in an agentic context that handles x402 payments automatically, or when you want to avoid managing BLS API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or nonexistent BLS series ID returns an error or empty dataset
- BLS public API rate limits may cause throttling or failures during high-demand periods
- Malformed request body (wrong bodyType or missing required fields) returns a 400-level error
- BLS v1 API may return limited historical data compared to v2
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before it reaches BLS

## How this service works

US Bureau of Labor Statistics time series data by series id (CPI, employment, wages) from the public v1 API, no key. Returns recent periods and values. For AI agents tracking US labor and price data.

## Output

Returns recent periods and corresponding values for the requested BLS time series, including data such as period labels (e.g. month/year), numeric values, and series metadata as provided by the BLS public v1 API.
