## 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-national-elections-calendar-3b523bc5
```

Example prompt: Which EU countries have national elections coming up, and when exactly are they? I need the election type, date, and whether it's confirmed or just expected.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, up-to-date, source-attributed snapshot of the next national election across all EU countries and Switzerland simultaneously. It is especially suited for political monitoring agents, briefing generators, or calendar tools that need pan-European coverage with freshness guarantees (max 7 days old). Prefer this over scraping Wikipedia or news sources because it includes status classification (official vs. expected) and links to election forecasts.

## Known failure modes

- 503 Service Unavailable — returned when the underlying election data is older than 7 days, indicating a data freshness failure; the call is not charged
- Network or payment errors — x402 payment protocol failures may prevent the call from completing
- No query parameters accepted — malformed requests with unexpected parameters may be rejected

## How this service works

Next national election in all 27 EU countries and Switzerland: type, date or year, status (official, legal deadline, expected), sources, link to our forecast where available. Use when asked when the next national election is in an EU country or which European elections are coming up. Source-attributed. Refused (503, not charged) if data is older than 7 days.

## Output

A structured list covering all 27 EU member states plus Switzerland, each with the next national election's type (e.g. parliamentary, presidential), date or year, status classification (official confirmed date, legal deadline, or expected estimate), attributed sources, and a link to the service's election forecast where one is available. Data is guaranteed to be no older than 7 days; stale data triggers a 503 refusal.
