## 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 brazil-economic-forecasts-api-3d239c86
```

Example prompt: What is the current market consensus forecast for Brazil's IPCA inflation, SELIC rate, GDP, and USD/BRL exchange rate as reported by the ~100 institutions in the Focus report?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pre-aggregated consensus view of Brazil's core macro indicators (IPCA, SELIC, GDP, USD/BRL) without having to collect and median-aggregate individual institution forecasts yourself. It is ideal for financial dashboards, investment research assistants, or economic monitoring agents focused on Brazil. Prefer it over raw central bank APIs when you want the market's forward-looking consensus rather than historical actuals. Not suitable if you need forecasts for individual institutions, other countries, or indicators beyond the four covered.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable if the Render.com free-tier instance is cold/sleeping, causing slow first response or timeout
- No query parameters supported, so no filtering by time horizon or specific indicator
- Data may be stale if upstream source has not refreshed recently
- 402 Payment Required if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- HTTP 500 if upstream data aggregation fails

## How this service works

## Output

A structured response containing median market consensus forecasts aggregated from approximately 100 financial institutions for four key Brazilian macroeconomic indicators: IPCA (consumer inflation), SELIC (benchmark interest rate), GDP growth rate, and USD/BRL exchange rate.
