## 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 financial-data-x402-economic-indicators-04d37701
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest US economic indicators — I want to see current inflation (CPI and core CPI), GDP growth, unemployment, the fed funds rate, and consumer sentiment all in one snapshot.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a broad, multi-indicator US macroeconomic snapshot in a single call without managing API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal for agents that need inflation, growth, labor, and rates data together cheaply ($0.01/call) via x402 micropayment on Base or Solana. Prefer it over free alternatives when you need reliable, structured JSON with named fields and a clear as-of timestamp, and when per-call billing is preferable to a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: x402 micropayment not completed or USDC balance insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Data series unavailable: specific indicator may be missing due to source lag — returned in failed_series array
- Network/timeout error: upstream data provider unavailable — returns 5xx
- Stale data: indicators reflect last published government release date, not real-time intraday values

## How this service works

Pay-per-call stock, macro, on-chain, and crypto data over the x402 protocol. USDC on Base or Solana, no API keys, no subscriptions.

## Output

A JSON object timestamped with an as_of date containing nested sections for labor (unemployment rate), growth (retail sales MoM %, industrial production YoY %, real GDP growth QoQ annualized %), inflation (CPI YoY %, core CPI YoY %, PCE price index YoY %), sentiment (consumer sentiment index), interest rates (fed funds rate), and a list of any failed data series.
