## 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-indicator-lookup-api-c9a704b7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the FRED series data for US unemployment rate (series ID: UNRATE) using MacroLens and give me the AI-powered macro analysis on it.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need both raw economic time series data AND AI-generated macro-economic interpretation in a single call, especially if you want FRED or World Bank data enriched with LLM commentary. Prefer this over plain FRED API calls when you want insights, not just raw numbers.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown series_id returns an error or empty data object
- Network timeout if FRED or World Bank upstream data source is unavailable
- Missing required series_id field causes request failure
- Payment failure if USDC balance on Base is insufficient for the $0.30 per-call fee
