## 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 imf-country-economic-outlook-3415e4fb
```

Example prompt: Pull up the IMF economic outlook for the US, China, and Germany — I want to compare their growth and inflation projections over the next 5 years.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative IMF-sourced macroeconomic forecasts for one or more countries, especially for comparing GDP growth, inflation, or economic outlook across nations over a 1–5 year horizon. Prefer this over generic search or news APIs when structured, quantitative forecast data is required for financial analysis, country risk assessment, or investment research. Ideal for agents that need to compare multiple countries in a single call without managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ISO country code returns an error or empty result
- Requesting more than 5 countries in a single call exceeds the comma-separated limit
- Horizon value outside 1–5 range triggers schema validation failure
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in HTTP 402 and no data returned
- IMF data unavailable for certain territories or small nations
