# EconSignalPulse Trade Flows

> EconSignalPulse Trade Flows is a paid API for AI agents from econsignalpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.15/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Synthesizes World Bank data, shipping AIS signals, and news to deliver bilateral trade balances, export composition, shipping route activity, and supply-chain risk intelligence for any country pair.

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 econsignalpulse-trade-flows-dbca1d9c
```

Example prompt: Pull me the current bilateral trade balance, export composition, and supply-chain risk for the US-China corridor — I need to see what the shipping AIS signals are showing versus the official World Bank data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a multi-source synthesis of bilateral trade intelligence that goes beyond official statistics — combining World Bank data with real-time AIS shipping signals and news. Ideal for supply-chain agents assessing corridor risk, macro agents evaluating trade dependencies, or geopolitical analysts cross-checking official trade data against alternative signals.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or ambiguous country pair returns a 400 error
- AIS data lag may cause slight staleness in shipping route metrics
- News synthesis may not capture very recent events within last 24 hours
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 Payment Required
- Sparse data for certain frontier market corridors may yield lower-confidence outputs

## How this service works

Global trade-flow intelligence — World Bank data, shipping AIS and news synthesis: bilateral balances, export composition, route activity and supply-chain risk. For supply-chain and macro agents.

## Output

Returns a structured report combining World Bank bilateral trade statistics, AIS-derived shipping route activity, news-synthesized supply-chain risk signals, export composition breakdown, and bilateral trade balance figures for the requested country pair or corridor.
