## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: What's driving US inflation right now? Give me the CPI breakdown across all spending categories — groceries, rent, gas, car insurance, medical care — ranked from fastest to slowest rising, showing both 12-month and 1-month changes.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, multi-category US CPI breakdown in a single call without having to query the BLS directly or parse raw government data. It is ideal for agents that need consumer inflation data across a broad set of everyday spending categories (20+) with both monthly and annual comparisons, delivered in a structured, agent-ready format for a low per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- Data may be stale if official BLS CPI release has not yet been processed
- Payment failure if USDC x402 micropayment is not properly attached
- 503 or timeout if upstream data source is temporarily unavailable
- Empty or partial category list if data pipeline has gaps for specific categories

## How this service works

## Output

A ranked list of approximately 20 US spending categories (e.g. groceries, restaurants, gasoline, electricity, rent, shelter, used cars, car insurance, airline fares, medical care) each with their 12-month CPI percent change and 1-month CPI percent change, sorted from fastest to slowest rising.
