## 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-ipca-inflation-data-e532c953
```

Example prompt: What is Brazil's current IPCA consumer inflation rate? I need the last 12 monthly readings and the 12-month accumulated figure from the Central Bank of Brazil.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official Brazilian IPCA consumer inflation data — monthly series and 12-month accumulation — directly sourced from the Central Bank of Brazil. Prefer it over general financial data providers when Brazil-specific accuracy and official sourcing are required.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable on Render free tier (cold start delay or downtime)
- Central Bank data feed temporarily unavailable
- Rate limit or payment failure resulting in 402 response
- Stale data if upstream Central Bank source has not updated
