## 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-household-natural-gas-prices-eurostat-d73f5d2a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me the latest Eurostat ranking of average household natural gas prices across all European countries, with taxes included, in EUR/kWh.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, Eurostat-sourced household natural gas price data for European countries in EUR/kWh, specifically for the 20–200 GJ/year consumption band. Prefer this over web scraping or generic energy APIs when you need structured, CC BY 4.0 licensed, half-yearly official statistics with tax/no-tax breakdown and country-level or EU/EA aggregate granularity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country ISO code returns empty or null results
- Missing required body fields (type, method, bodyType) returns a validation error
- Eurostat data not yet updated for the latest period may return the previous half-year's data
- Passing an unrecognized region code (not ISO country, EU, or EA) may yield no ranking entry

## How this service works

Average household natural gas price (20-200 GJ/year band) in EUR/kWh by European country, with or without taxes: ranking or half-yearly evolution of one country. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the Eurostat data source citation, an update timestamp, and either a ranked list of European countries with their ISO code, country name, EUR/kWh price, and half-year period, or the half-yearly price evolution series for a single specified country.
