## 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 european-house-price-index-year-on-year-change-via-eurostat-bb61d01b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the Eurostat house price index for Spain showing the last 12 quarters of year-on-year change data.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, authoritative European house price index data with year-on-year percentage changes at the quarterly granularity, for individual EU/EEA countries or Eurozone/EU aggregates, or a comparative ranking across all countries. Prefer this over general web search or unofficial sources when regulatory-grade Eurostat provenance is required. Best suited for macroeconomic analysis, real estate market research, or investment decision support involving European residential property markets.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ISO country code returns an error or empty result
- Quarters parameter outside 1-40 range may be rejected or clamped
- Eurostat data lag means the most recent quarter may not yet be available
- Network or upstream Eurostat API unavailability causes request failure
- Requesting data for non-EU/EEA countries will return no results

## How this service works

Year-on-year change of house prices (house price index, all dwellings) for any European country, or a ranking of all. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the country ISO code, full country name, the data source (Eurostat prc_hpi_q), the last updated timestamp, the most recent period with its year-on-year percentage change, and a time series array of quarterly periods each with their year-on-year change percentage. For ranking requests (no country specified), returns comparable data across all covered European countries.
