## 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-inflation-analysis-api-0abdb32f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the MacroLens inflation analysis for the CPI indicator and give me the AI-interpreted summary of what the data shows?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-interpreted inflation data combining both FRED and World Bank sources in a single call, rather than raw data pulls from either source individually. Ideal for agents that need narrative macroeconomic context alongside numeric inflation figures, particularly for investment research, policy analysis, or economic reporting workflows that require LLM-synthesized insight rather than raw time-series data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized indicator code returns an error or empty data object
- Missing required 'indicator' field in request body results in validation failure
- FRED or World Bank upstream data unavailability may cause incomplete responses
- x402 payment failure on Base blockchain blocks the request before processing
- Indicator with no available data returns success:true but empty data object
