## 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 fomc-economic-release-calendar-9a845f3b
```

Example prompt: Pull the FOMC meeting dates and major US economic releases — CPI, NFP, GDP, PCE, retail sales — from today July 21 2026 through September 1 2026, and include how many days away each one is.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a unified, authoritative view of market-wide macro catalysts — FOMC meetings plus all major US economic releases — in a single call with a days-until countdown. It's ideal for trading prep, risk flagging, and macro scheduling workflows where you care about Fed policy and tier-1 data releases rather than individual stock events. Prefer it over building your own calendar scraper because it sources directly from the Fed and FRED, explicitly surfaces unavailable data, and costs only $0.01/call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'from' or 'to' query parameters returns an error
- Date range too wide may increase response time
- A FRED data source temporarily unavailable is reported explicitly in the response rather than silently dropped
- Dates in the past may return empty or partial results
- Malformed date format (non-ISO 8601) causes a validation error

## How this service works

FOMC meeting dates and major US economic release dates (CPI, non-farm payrolls, GDP, PCE, retail sales) in one call, each with a days-until countdown, between 'from' and 'to' -- the market-wide catalysts that move every ticker at once. FOMC dates from the Fed's official calendar; release dates live from FRED, and a temporarily-unavailable release is reported explicitly, not silently dropped. Not ticker-specific. $0.01/call.

## Output

A list of macro calendar events between the requested dates, each including event name (e.g. FOMC, CPI, NFP, GDP, PCE, retail sales), the scheduled date, and a days-until countdown. FOMC dates sourced from the Fed's official calendar; release dates live from FRED. Any temporarily unavailable release is reported explicitly rather than silently omitted.
