# EconDash Economic Indicator Lookup

> EconDash Economic Indicator Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from econdash.org, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Retrieves data for a specific economic indicator by its World Bank-style code (e.g. NY.GDP.MKTP.CD) via a pay-per-call M2M API

## 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 econdash-economic-indicator-lookup-bf451aa0
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the EconDash economic indicator data for NY.GDP.MKTP.CD — I want the GDP figures that come back from their M2M API.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, machine-to-machine access to specific economic, demographic, or health indicators by their World Bank-style codes. Prefer this over scraping or manual lookup when building automated pipelines that need structured indicator data with a known code. Best suited for agents that already know the indicator code and need the raw data values.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown indicator code returns an error or empty result
- Missing required 'code' path parameter causes request failure
- Payment of 0.02 USDC not fulfilled results in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if the data backend is slow
- Indicator code exists but has no data for certain countries or time ranges
