## 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 fred-economic-data-via-agenttoll-c860a0d2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest 20 observations for the 10-year Treasury yield from FRED — the series ID is DGS10?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to FRED economic data without managing a FRED API key, especially within an AI agent workflow that already uses x402/USDC micropayments. Ideal for one-off lookups of specific macroeconomic series without a subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown series_id returns an error or empty result
- Limit out of range (not between 5-100) may return a validation error
- FRED API upstream outage causes failure
- Payment failure in USDC/x402 blocks the request
- Missing series_id may return a default or list of available series

## How this service works

108+ receipt-backed x402 work products for AI agents. Clear prices, spend caps, buyer metadata, and structured results over Base USDC.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing FRED series metadata and/or observation data — typically including data points with dates and values for the requested economic indicator series, up to the specified limit of observations.
