## 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-labor-market-analysis-api-c9052a03 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Pull me an AI-powered labor market analysis from MacroLens starting from January 2020 — I want to see employment trends, unemployment rates, and any key macro insights from the FRED and World Bank data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-synthesized labor market analysis combining official macro data sources (FRED, World Bank) with LLM interpretation, rather than raw data alone. Prefer this over generic economic data APIs when you want a narrative intelligence layer on top of employment, wage, and unemployment indicators, especially for research, investment analysis, or economic briefings.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'start' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid date format for 'start' may cause parsing failure or empty results
- FRED or World Bank data unavailable for requested period returns partial or empty data object
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC balance results in 402 payment required error
- Vercel cold start may cause occasional latency spikes or timeout
