## 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 creative-foresight-observations-api-e2529654
```

Example prompt: Pull foresight observations for the 'sustainability' indicator in the 'Europe' region so I can see what emerging signals are being tracked there.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured foresight observations tied to a specific indicator and region, particularly for strategic planning, trend monitoring, or market intelligence workflows. It is best suited for use cases requiring regional signal retrieval with a defined thematic focus (indicator). Prefer it over generic news or web search APIs when you specifically need curated foresight-oriented data signals.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'indicator' or 'region' query parameters returns a 400 error
- Invalid or unsupported indicator/region combination may return empty results or a 404
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance may result in a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may produce a 429 error
- Server-side errors may return a 500 with no data
