## 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-industrial-production-year-on-year-change-d4ff9f38 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the year-on-year industrial production change for Spain over the last 6 months? Pull the official Eurostat data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, Eurostat-sourced year-on-year industrial production statistics for European countries, the EU, or the euro area. It is ideal for macroeconomic analysis, country comparisons, or automated monitoring of EU industrial trends. Prefer it over general economic APIs when the specific Eurostat methodology (total industry excluding construction, calendar-adjusted, monthly) is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country ISO code returns an error or empty result
- Data may lag by 1-2 months due to Eurostat publication schedules
- Requesting too many months may return limited data if Eurostat history is constrained
- Missing required body fields (type, method, bodyType) cause a validation error
- Network timeout or payment failure via x402 protocol

## How this service works

Industrial production (total industry excluding construction, calendar adjusted): year-on-year monthly change for any European country, the EU or the euro area; without a country, a ranking. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the country name and ISO code, the most recent period and its annual change percentage, a time series array of period/annual_change_pct pairs, the Eurostat data source attribution, and the last update timestamp. When no country is specified, returns a ranking of all available countries.
