## 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-eea-hicp-inflation-rate-api-e8164311 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the HICP harmonised inflation rate for Spain over the last 24 months? Show me the full monthly series using official Eurostat data.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, harmonised (HICP) inflation figures for EU or EEA member states, the EU aggregate, or the euro area — particularly when comparability across countries matters. Prefer this over national CPI sources when you need Eurostat-certified data with consistent methodology. Ideal for economic dashboards, cross-country comparisons, and automated monitoring of EU inflation trends.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid country ISO code returns an error or empty result
- Requesting more than 60 months of history may be capped or return an error
- Data may lag by days after Eurostat's official release cycle
- Non-EU/EEA country codes are not supported
- Missing required 'pais' field returns a validation error

## How this service works

Harmonised inflation (HICP annual rate) of any EU/EEA country, the EU or the euro area for the last months; with pais=todos, a ranking of all countries for the latest month. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the country ISO code, full name, a monthly time series of HICP annual inflation percentages (up to 60 months), the most recent month's value, the Eurostat data source attribution, and the last update timestamp. When 'todos' is passed, returns a ranking of all countries for the latest available month.
