## 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-macro-api-focus-survey-forecasts-96940785
```

Example prompt: What are the current BCB Focus survey median forecasts for Brazil's inflation, Selic rate, dollar exchange rate, and GDP growth for this year and next year?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single call that returns all four key Brazilian macroeconomic consensus forecasts (inflation, Selic, FX, GDP) for both the current and next calendar year. Prefer this over sibling endpoints (spot Selic, IPCA, PTAX, CDI) when you need forward-looking market expectations rather than current realized figures, or when you need a multi-indicator macro snapshot in one request.

## Known failure modes

- BCB Focus survey data temporarily unavailable — API may return 503 or empty payload
- Upstream data delay if the BCB has not yet published the latest Focus readout
- Network timeout from the Railway-hosted deployment under load
- Payment failure (402) if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient (requires $0.05 USDC)
