## 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-gdp-growth-api-eurostat-bcf28b1a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's Spain's latest quarterly GDP growth rate? Show me the quarter-on-quarter and year-over-year figures for the last 8 quarters using official Eurostat data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, seasonally adjusted quarterly GDP growth figures for European countries, the EU aggregate, or the euro area — especially when QoQ and YoY breakdowns are both needed. It is ideal for economic dashboards, country comparison tools, and macro research agents that require authoritative Eurostat-sourced data. Prefer this over web scraping or general data APIs when data provenance and official sourcing matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ISO country code returns an error or empty result
- Requesting more than 40 quarters of history may be clamped or rejected
- Very recent quarters may not yet be available if Eurostat has not published the data
- Non-EU/EEA country codes will not return data as only European countries are covered
- Network or upstream Eurostat data source unavailability may cause timeouts

## How this service works

Real quarterly GDP growth (seasonally adjusted) of any European country, the EU or the euro area: quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year; without a country, a ranking for the latest quarter. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the country name, ISO code, the most recent quarter's QoQ and YoY GDP growth percentages, a historical series array of up to 40 quarters each with period label and both growth metrics, the Eurostat dataset source, and the data update timestamp. When no country is specified, a ranking of all countries for the latest quarter is returned instead.
