## 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 eurostat-european-rental-inflation-api-1879ae4b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the year-on-year rent inflation trend for Spain over the last 6 months, based on official Eurostat HICP data?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, authoritative year-on-year rental price change data specifically for European countries, the EU aggregate, or the euro area, sourced directly from Eurostat's HICP methodology. Prefer this over general inflation APIs when you need the actual rents sub-component specifically, or when you need a cross-country ranking view of rental inflation across Europe.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized country ISO code returns an error or empty result
- Requesting data for a non-European country not covered by Eurostat returns no data
- Specifying too many months beyond available historical data may truncate the series
- Network or upstream Eurostat data unavailability may cause timeouts
- Malformed request body (missing required fields) returns a validation error

## How this service works

Year-on-year change in actual rents for housing (HICP component) for any European country, the EU or the euro area; without a country, a ranking. Official Eurostat data.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the country code, country name, a time series of periods with their year-on-year rent change percentages, the most recent period and its value, the Eurostat data source attribution, and the last updated timestamp. When no country is specified, returns a ranking of all European countries.
