## 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 latamref-country-brief-b7a4a8e8
```

Example prompt: Pull the full government reference brief for Colombia — I need the policy rate, VAT, corporate tax, minimum wage, and any other official fiscal or monetary rates in one shot with their effective dates and official sources.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive snapshot of all government reference data for a single Latin American country in one call, rather than querying individual series endpoints separately. It is ideal for compliance workflows, onboarding new country operations, or building dashboards that need policy rate, tax rates, minimum wage, CPI, and holidays together with official source citations and confidence scores.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns 404 or empty result if the country is outside Latin America or not yet covered
- Invalid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code returns a 400 validation error
- Data may lag behind very recent government announcements if not yet confirmed from official sources
- Low confidence label on some series indicates data could not be fully verified against official gazette
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Latin American country brief: every government reference series for one country in one call (policy rate, VAT/GST, CPI, income/corporate/withholding tax, minimum wage, holidays...), each with value, unit, effective date, last-confirmed date, official source and confidence label

## Output

A structured JSON object containing all available government reference series for the requested country, where each series includes the current value, unit, effective date, last-confirmed date, the official government source (e.g. central bank gazette, tax authority), and a confidence label indicating data reliability.
