## 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 currency-exchange-rates-ecb-via-frankfurter-7fdd4bb3
```

Example prompt: What are today's exchange rates for USD against all major currencies? I need the ECB daily rates for financial reporting.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need reliable, official daily FX rates from the European Central Bank for up to 30 major currencies at low cost ($0.01/call). It is ideal for financial reporting, invoice conversion, and e-commerce pricing where ECB reference rates are acceptable (not for real-time intraday trading rates). Prefer this over building your own ECB integration or paying for premium FX data providers when daily granularity suffices.

## Known failure modes

- No base currency specified may return default or error
- ECB rates update once daily, so rates may lag intraday movements
- Unsupported or misspelled currency code may return an error or empty rates
- Upstream frankfurter.app outage may cause service unavailability
- Rate limiting or payment failure may block the call

## Output
