## 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 foresight-api-public-briefing-by-slug-59b11879
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the Foresight public briefing for the 'labor-market' topic and tell me what its current answer and status say?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, structured natural-language briefing on a specific named economic or market topic from the Creative Foresight catalog. It is best when you already know the topic slug (e.g. 'labor-market') and want a concise, current answer without building a full query. Prefer this over authenticated insight or signal endpoints when the content is publicly accessible and you want low-friction, per-call priced reads via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent slug returns a 404 or error status
- Payment not fulfilled triggers a 402 response requiring x402 payment
- Malformed slug path parameter results in a 400 bad request
- Briefing run not yet completed may return a non-'ok' status
- Rate limiting or expired API key results in 401 or 403 response

## How this service works

OpenAPI document for the live v1 read API surface in this tree. Catalog routes and signup are anonymous; observations, insights, signals, and ping require bearer API keys (or x402 payment on payable endpoints).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the briefing name, its URL slug, and a 'run' object with a natural-language 'answer' summarizing the current state of that topic and a 'status' field indicating whether the run completed successfully (e.g. 'ok').
