# Economic Calendar

## 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 economic-calendar-68e1dffe
```

Example prompt: What high-impact economic events are coming up for the USD in the next 7 days — show me the scheduled time, forecast, and previous values for each?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, time-stamped macroeconomic event data with forecast and previous values for the near-term window (up to ~14 days ahead), especially when you want to filter by impact severity or a specific currency. Prefer this over general news APIs when you specifically need scheduled macro releases with quantitative context rather than narrative news articles.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid impact value returns error or empty results — must be High, Medium, or Low
- Invalid or unrecognized currency code may return empty result set
- Days parameter out of reasonable range may return empty or capped results
- Service may be temporarily unavailable (Render free-tier cold start latency or downtime)
- Data freshness: calendar events may not reflect last-minute reschedules or additions

## How this service works

This week's macroeconomic calendar: CPI, jobs, GDP, PMIs and central-bank decisions with time (UTC), currency, impact, forecast and previous value. Filter by impact (High, Medium, Low) and currency.

## Output

A list of macroeconomic calendar events for the requested period, each containing: event name (e.g. CPI, NFP, GDP), scheduled UTC datetime, affected currency, impact level (High/Medium/Low), consensus forecast value, and prior release value. Events are sorted chronologically and filtered according to the requested impact and currency parameters.
