## 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-data-explorer-countries-by-indicator-58ab9024
```

Example prompt: Which countries have data available for the GDP per capita indicator on EconDash? Use indicator code NY.GDP.PCAP.CD.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover which countries have available data for a specific indicator before querying actual indicator values. It is ideal for filtering or scoping subsequent data requests and for building country-selection UIs or agent decision trees around data availability.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown indicator code returns an empty array or 404 error
- Malformed code path parameter may return a 400 bad request
- Network timeout if the data source is temporarily unavailable
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if USDC payment is not provided
