## 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 br-intelligence-brazilian-interest-rates-selic-bcb-221f79d8
```

Example prompt: What is the current Selic meta rate set by Brazil's Banco Central do Brasil — give me the latest value, its effective date, and the unit?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the current official Brazilian Selic meta interest rate as published by the Banco Central do Brasil, especially for financial analysis, emerging market research, or macroeconomic monitoring of Brazil. Prefer this over general web scraping or manual lookups when you need a structured, machine-readable response with the exact rate value, unit, and effective date at very low per-call cost via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream BCB SGS data unavailability causing stale or missing rate data
- Payment not processed (x402 USDC payment required before data is returned)
- Network timeout if the worker or upstream BCB source is slow
- Empty or null indicator values if BCB has not published a new rate decision
