## 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 gocreative-market-affordability-api-b8ab681c
```

Example prompt: What's the housing affordability index for the Austin, TX market right now? I want to know if it's a buyer-friendly market based on official data.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official-source affordability metrics for a real estate or goods market, particularly when you want government-backed data (Census, FRED) and don't want to manage API keys or subscriptions. Best for agents doing housing research, financial planning, or market analysis on a pay-per-call basis.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized market/location argument returns a 400 or 404 error
- Payment of 0.05 USDC not provided triggers a 402 Payment Required response
- Upstream government data source unavailable causes a 503 or timeout
- Argument format mismatch (e.g., wrong region code) returns no data or an error
- Rate limiting or network issues may cause intermittent failures
