## 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 eu-countries-comparative-statistics-43a4858e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me a comparison of all 27 EU countries on unemployment, inflation, and household electricity and gas prices — I want to see which countries are doing best and worst on each metric.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single call that returns all 27 EU countries at once for cross-country comparison. Prefer this over the single-country EU endpoint when the user wants to rank, benchmark, or compare multiple countries simultaneously rather than drill into one country's full detail.

## Known failure modes

- Data may not reflect the very latest figures if source statistics have not been refreshed
- Specific metric categories may be unavailable if underlying Eurostat data is missing for a country
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) if USDC funds are insufficient
- Network timeout if the API is temporarily unreachable

## How this service works

All 27 EU countries compared: unemployment, inflation, household electricity and gas prices, strongest list in the 2024 European election. Use when comparing EU countries on unemployment, inflation, energy prices or European election results.

## Output

A structured dataset covering all 27 EU member states, each with their current unemployment rate, inflation rate, household electricity price, household gas price, and the strongest list/party in the 2024 European Parliament election — enabling direct cross-country comparison and ranking.
