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 brasil-dados-api-focus-report-macro-forecasts-66060fb3
```

Example prompt: What are the current market consensus forecasts for Brazil's IPCA inflation, SELIC interest rate, GDP growth, and USD/BRL exchange rate — the kind of median estimates from around 100 institutions in the BCB Focus report?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single, aggregated market consensus view of Brazil's four main macro indicators (IPCA, SELIC, GDP, USD/BRL) from a broad panel of ~100 institutions, rather than real-time market prices or historical series. Prefer this over point-in-time rate endpoints when you want forward-looking forecasts rather than current observed values.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable if the Render.com free-tier instance is cold-starting (502/503, retry after delay)
- BCB Focus data source temporarily unavailable upstream (propagated error)
- Empty or stale data if the Central Bank has not published a new Focus report recently
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402 micropayment ($0.01 USDC required per call)

## How this service works

Focus report: median market forecasts from ~100 institutions for Brazil IPCA, SELIC, GDP and USD/BRL.

## Output

Returns median market forecasts aggregated from approximately 100 Brazilian financial institutions for: IPCA (consumer inflation), SELIC (policy interest rate), GDP growth rate, and USD/BRL exchange rate — reflecting the Focus survey published by the Central Bank of Brazil.
