## 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-house-price-index-by-country-949549f4
```

Example prompt: What is the current house price index for Ireland, and how does it rank compared to other EU countries in terms of annual price growth?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative EU house price index data for a specific country, including annual change and EU-wide ranking. Prefer this over generic property listing APIs when you need macroeconomic HPI benchmarks rather than individual property listings or rental data. Best suited for investment research, economic reporting, or comparing housing inflation across EU member states.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid country code returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported country code (non-EU member) may return no data
- Invalid metric string may default to hpi or return an error
- Stale data if the latest quarter has not yet been published

## How this service works

What is the average rent in an Irish area? What is the rent increase limit? What are house prices in a county? Pay-per-call Irish rent and property price data for agents and developers. x402 and MPP, MCP server, no API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the country's latest house price index value (e.g. 205.94), the 4-quarter percentage change (e.g. 8.1%), the latest quarter (e.g. 2026Q2), and a ranking of that country within the EU by 4-quarter change (e.g. rank 12 of 26).
