## 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 cudaso-macroeconomic-construction-material-price-index-api-8fcd12b6
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest construction-material price index for Italy from Cudaso — I need the most recent verified EU macroeconomic data on building material costs?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need verified, authoritative construction-material price index or macroeconomic data for EU and global markets, especially when sourcing from official bodies like Eurostat, ISTAT, MASE, or World Bank. Prefer this over generic economic data APIs when your use case is specifically construction-sector pricing, building material cost indices, or EU macroeconomic statistics, and when per-request micropayment via USDC on Base is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid query parameters may return empty or error responses
- Payment not fulfilled (402) if USDC payment via x402 protocol is not included
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded if too many requests are made
- Requested data series not available for specific country or time period
- Network timeout for slow upstream data provider responses
