> Global Central Bank Policy Rates (BIS Data) is a paid API for AI agents from api.x402node.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.012/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 global-central-bank-policy-rates-bis-data-9c90e234
```

Example prompt: Pull the current policy rates from BIS data for all 38 central banks — I want to see the Fed, ECB, BoJ, and BoE rates especially, and filter it down to just the US if possible.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need normalized, multi-country central bank policy rate data sourced from official BIS data in a single call — ideal for FX carry trade signals, rate differential analysis, or macro dashboards. Prefer this over scraping central bank websites individually when you need consistent formatting across 38 banks.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns empty or error response
- BIS data may lag real-time rate decisions by hours or days
- Rate not yet updated after a surprise central bank decision
- Network timeout or upstream BIS data unavailability returns 5xx
- Payment not processed (x402) results in 402 Payment Required
