## 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-unemployment-rate-by-country-eurostat-76c99951 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Spain, broken down by total, under-25, and 25-74 age groups? Show me the last 6 months of history.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, seasonally adjusted EU/EEA unemployment statistics sourced directly from Eurostat, particularly when you need age-group breakdowns (under-25 vs 25-74), multi-month historical series, or a cross-country ranking of all EU/EEA members. Prefer this over general economic data aggregators when Eurostat provenance and CC BY 4.0 licensing are important, or when you need the 'todos' all-country ranking in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country ISO code returns an error or empty response
- Requesting more than 60 months of history may return capped or partial data
- Data may lag by 1-2 months due to Eurostat's publication schedule
- Non-EU/EEA country codes (e.g. US, CN) are not supported and will fail
- Network or payment authorization failure returns a non-200 status

## How this service works

Monthly seasonally adjusted unemployment rate (total, under 25 and 25-74) of any EU/EEA country, the EU or the euro area; with pais=todos, a ranking of all countries. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the country code, country name, a time series array of monthly records (each with month, total unemployment %, under-25 %, and 25-74 % values), the most recent month's figures, the last updated timestamp, and the Eurostat data source attribution. When 'todos' is used, returns a ranked list across all EU/EEA countries.
