## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured FIFA men's national team ranking data including points and rank movement, without managing your own FIFA API access. Prefer this over scraping FIFA's website directly. Note this covers men's rankings only — not women's — and returns data for one ranking date per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid dateId format returns an error or empty result
- dateId referencing a non-existent ranking date may return no data
- limit out of range (below 1 or above 211) may return default or error
- Service unavailable if FIFA's underlying API is down
- Stale data if FIFA has not published new rankings recently

## How this service works

FIFA men's national team world ranking (FIFA public ranking API, no key): position, team, country code, total points, previous points and previous rank for one ranking date. Default date is the latest one listed on FIFA's site when built (2026-10-20); pass dateId to read another listed date. Men's ranking only.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the ranking date ID, a source URL, a checkedAt timestamp, the total number of ranked teams (teamCount), and an array of ranking entries each with team name, country code, current position, total points, previous points, and previous position. The number of entries returned is controlled by the limit parameter (default 20, max 211).
