Returns time-series data for a single IMF DataMapper indicator (e.g. real GDP growth) across one or more countries, with forecast flags and optional year range filtering.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-datamapper-series-fetcher-bd6576e1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the IMF real GDP growth indicator NGDP_RPCH for USA, DEU, and JPN from 2000 to 2025, and flag which data points are forecasts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, per-country economic time-series data from the IMF DataMapper for a specific indicator — especially when you need both historical actuals and forward-looking IMF forecasts in a single call, with clear forecast flags. Prefer this over general web search or other economic data APIs when IMF-sourced authority and standardized indicator codes (like NGDP_RPCH, PCPIPCH) matter for your use case.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IMF indicator code returns an error — use search_indicators to find valid codes
- Invalid ISO alpha-3 country code causes missing or empty series for that country
- Year range outside 1980–2100 is rejected by schema validation
- Requesting more than 20 countries at once may be unsupported
- Network timeout or upstream IMF DataMapper API unavailability
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request

## How this service works

Returns one IMF DataMapper indicator (e.g. NGDP_RPCH real GDP growth) for one or more countries, optionally limited to a year range. Output has unit, per-country series of {year, value, forecast_flag}, and a top-level forecast_flag. A point is a forecast when year >= the current UTC year.

## Output

A JSON object containing the indicator's unit label, a per-country map of year-value time series (each point carrying the year, numeric value, and a forecast boolean), and a top-level forecast_flag indicating whether any future projections are included. Forecast points are those where the year is >= the current UTC year.
