## 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-inflation-data-eurostat-hicp-29d34cdd
```

Example prompt: What's the current annual inflation rate for the eurozone — can you pull the last 3 months of all-items HICP data for the euro area (EA) from Eurostat?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, authoritative EU/eurozone inflation statistics sourced directly from Eurostat's HICP dataset — particularly for financial analysis, economic reporting, VAT/pricing decisions, or compliance tasks requiring verified European price data. Prefer this over general news or LLM-estimated figures when accuracy and official provenance matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid geo code returns error or empty observations
- Invalid COICOP code returns error or no data
- last_n out of range (>24) may return error or be capped
- Data may lag by several weeks after official Eurostat release
- 402 Payment Required if x402 payment not completed before retry

## How this service works

Monthly HICP inflation as annual rate of change (%) from Eurostat dataset prc_hicp_manr, the official primary source. Query: ?geo=EA|FR|DE|EU27_2020 &coicop=CP00 (all items) | CP011 (food) | CP045 (energy) &last_n=12 (1-24 months, default 1). Returns date-sorted observations plus the latest print; 24h cache. Data: Eurostat, CC BY 4.0.

## Output

A JSON object containing the geo code, COICOP category label, source dataset info, update timestamp, measure description, an array of monthly observations each with period and annual_rate_percent, and the single latest period and rate highlighted at the top level.
