## 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-memoryapi-org-7a8e7aab
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest OECD comparison data for G7 countries — I want to see long-term interest rates, trade balances, and CPI figures side by side to understand how the major economies are positioned right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pre-processed OECD macroeconomic indicators specifically for G7 and major economies, focusing on the triad of long-term interest rates, trade balance, and CPI. Prefer this over the IMF sibling endpoint when your analysis centers on monetary policy signals, trade dynamics, and inflation comparisons among developed OECD members rather than broader GDP growth or government debt metrics across 180+ countries.

## Known failure modes

- Data unavailable for a specific country if not in OECD/G7 scope — returns empty or partial dataset
- Stale data if OECD source hasn't been refreshed — response may lag official OECD release schedule
- Payment failure if x402 micropayment of $0.001 USDC is not processed correctly
- Network timeout if the upstream OECD data source is unavailable
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window

## How this service works

## Output

Returns structured OECD macroeconomic comparison data for G7 and major economies including long-term interest rates (%), trade balance figures, and CPI inflation metrics per country, enabling cross-country benchmarking and economic analysis.
