## 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 brasil-dados-api-brazil-economy-overview-b91fad22
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick snapshot of Brazil's macroeconomic conditions — I need the current SELIC policy rate, CDI, IPCA inflation for last month and the last 12 months, and the official PTAX USD/BRL rate, all from the Central Bank of Brazil.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need multiple Brazilian macro indicators in a single API call rather than making separate calls for SELIC, IPCA, and PTAX. It is ideal for dashboards, reports, or any workflow that needs a holistic Brazil economic snapshot with minimal latency and cost.

## Known failure modes

- Render.com cold start delay causing timeout if service was idle
- Data may be slightly stale if BCB has not updated its feeds recently
- Service unavailability due to Render.com free-tier spin-down
- Unexpected 402 payment required if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
