## 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 globalapi-us-cpi-data-ab4cac7b
```

Example prompt: What's the latest US Consumer Price Index reading? Pull it from GlobalAPI — I just need the current CPI figure for the United States.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live US CPI data on a pay-per-call basis with no subscription or API key overhead, especially in autonomous agent workflows using x402 USDC micropayments. Prefer this over subscription-based economic data providers (e.g. FRED, Bloomberg) when cost-per-call economics are favorable and you only need occasional lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — 402 response if USDC micropayment is not completed
- Data temporarily unavailable — upstream economic data source outage
- Invalid endpoint path — 404 if US CPI route is misconfigured
- Rate limit or gateway error — 429 or 503 from server overload
