## 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 edge-agents-ai-australia-macro-unemployment-pulse-072305eb
```

Example prompt: Can you pull me the latest evidence-backed unemployment pulse for Australia — I want the current labour market summary, policy stance, and confidence rating?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a current, evidence-backed, sourced macro analysis of Australian unemployment specifically — not raw data feeds or generic news. It is ideal when confidence scoring, provenance signing, and explicit limitation disclosure matter (e.g. for agent workflows that require auditable intelligence). Prefer it over generic search or news APIs when you need structured analytical output with policy context and a quality signal, payable per-request via crypto stablecoins (USDC/RLUSD) with no subscription required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 settlement failed — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Insufficient live data available for the current period — dataStatus may indicate incomplete
- Source freshness issues — report will explicitly state coverage limitations in the limitations field
- Network or service downtime — standard HTTP 5xx error returned
- Invalid or malformed request — HTTP 400 with error details

## How this service works

Direct Australian Bureau of Statistics seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate with one and three-month percentage-point change, sourced from the official ABS Data API. Purpose: Detect deterioration or improvement in the Australian labour market using direct ABS evidence. 1-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON report containing a quality assessment (status and confidence level), an analysis summary with macro family and labour intents, an evidence block listing affected assets and policy stance, a data completeness status, the service ID, a signed provenance object from edge-agents.ai, a generatedAt timestamp, schema version, and a standard disclaimer that the report is general market research and not investment advice.
