Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 docparse-fred-macro-data-05f0a513 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 24 FRED observations for the CPI series (CPIAUCSL) and tell me the current year-over-year inflation rate.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date US macroeconomic indicators from FRED (CPI, unemployment, fed funds rate, GDP, PCE, etc.) with year-over-year calculations already computed. It is ideal for agents building economic dashboards, generating macro commentary, or monitoring policy indicators. Prefer it over scraping FRED's website or calling the official FRED API directly when you want a pay-per-call, no-account-needed approach with clean JSON output.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown FRED series ID returns an error
- Limit out of range (below 1 or above 500) returns a validation error
- Start date in wrong format (not YYYY-MM-DD) returns a parsing error
- No data available for the requested date range returns an empty or partial result
- Payment failure via x402 means no charge and no data returned

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for AI agents: any document to clean Markdown (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, web pages); US company fundamentals, SEC filings and insider trades; Treasury yields; FRED macro data; official FX rates (ECB, Bank of Russia); hash, base64, JWT, UUID and JSON utilities. x402 USDC micropayments, no account or API key. Charged only on success.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the FRED series ID, the latest observation (date and value), and the year-over-year percentage change. For example: {series: 'CPIAUCSL', latest: {date: '2026-08-01', value: 331.2}, change_yoy_pct: 2.9}.
