## 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 globalrules-compare-minimum-wage-across-all-countries-22742ce0
```

Example prompt: Give me a comparison of minimum wages across all countries at once — I want to see every country's rate in a single response so I can rank them and find the cheapest labor markets.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need minimum wage data for many or all countries simultaneously and want to avoid making 98 separate single-country API calls. It is the most cost-efficient and latency-efficient option for building global comparisons, rankings, heatmaps, or market scan tables. Prefer single-country endpoints if you only need data for one or two specific countries.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable on free-tier hosting (Render cold start delays or downtime)
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment of $0.02 is not correctly handled
- No query parameters accepted — passing unsupported params may be ignored silently
- Data staleness if underlying dataset has not been refreshed recently
- Empty or partial country coverage if some countries lack minimum wage data

## How this service works

Compare one fact across all 106 countries in a single JSON call — e.g. VAT rates, minimum wages, public holidays or digital nomad visas for every country at once. The bulk alternative to 106 single-country calls. For AI agents building comparisons, rankings and market scans. Example: /api/v1/compare/vat

## Output

A JSON object containing: the queried field name ('minimum_wage'), a count of countries returned, a last-updated timestamp, and a 'countries' object mapping each country code or name to its minimum wage value and relevant metadata.
