## 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 delx-commerce-inflation-calculator-29535c64 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What would $10,000 from 1985 be worth in today's dollars after inflation? Use the inflation calculator to give me the current equivalent purchasing power.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to compute inflation-adjusted values programmatically without API key signup, paying only per successful result in USDC. It is ideal for agentic financial workflows where cost predictability and trustless payment settlement on Base or Solana matter. Prefer over free alternatives when verifiable pay-per-result delivery and no registration overhead are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing required body fields return a 4xx error
- Unsupported year ranges or currencies may return an error or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block the request before computation
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400 bad request
- Years outside available historical CPI data may return an error

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing inflation-adjusted monetary values, percentage changes, or purchasing power equivalents computed from the provided input parameters. The exact fields depend on the request body but typically include the adjusted amount, the inflation rate applied, and the reference period used.
