## 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-x402-vercel-app-69175406
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick macro snapshot of the US economy — I want the latest CPI inflation, unemployment rate, Fed funds rate, GDP, 10-year Treasury yield, yield curve spread, S&P 500, M2 money supply, housing starts, and oil price all in one shot.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, curated macro overview of the US economy without specifying individual series IDs. Ideal for dashboards, briefing summaries, or any agent task that requires broad economic context in a single call. Prefer this over the individual series endpoint when you need multiple standard indicators at once and don't want to make 10 separate requests.

## Known failure modes

- FRED upstream data delay: latest values may lag by days or weeks depending on release schedule
- Payment failure (402): call rejected if x402 payment of $0.005 USDC is not included
- Network/hosting error: Vercel deployment may be temporarily unavailable (503/500)
- Stale cache: values may reflect prior release if FRED has not yet updated the series
