## 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 macrolens-housing-market-analysis-16d3a98b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull me a MacroLens housing market analysis starting from January 2022 — I want to see how home prices, housing starts, and mortgage rates have trended since then with an AI summary.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-synthesized housing market intelligence combining authoritative government data sources (FRED, World Bank) with LLM narrative analysis in a single call. Prefer this over raw FRED API calls when you want pre-analyzed, human-readable housing insights rather than raw time series data. Best for agents answering macroeconomic housing questions, real estate research, or trend analysis over a defined time window.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing start date returns an error or empty data
- Start date too far in the past where data is unavailable
- Payment not authorized via x402 protocol resulting in 402 response
- FRED or World Bank data source temporarily unavailable
- MiMo LLM narrative generation timeout or failure
- Rate limiting if calls exceed allowed frequency
