## 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-trade-analysis-api-3456be6b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Using MacroLens, pull an AI-powered trade analysis starting from January 2023 — I want to understand the macro trends in international trade activity, including any FRED and World Bank signals, interpreted by the LLM.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-synthesized macro trade intelligence combining FRED and World Bank datasets with LLM interpretation, rather than raw data feeds. Ideal for agents that need a narrative macro summary of international trade conditions rather than structured time-series data alone. Best suited for financial research, investment analysis, and economic briefing use cases where interpreted insights are more valuable than raw indicators.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'start' date parameter returns an error
- Malformed date string in start field may cause parsing failure
- FRED or World Bank data unavailability may result in empty data object
- Payment not fulfilled (x402) results in 402 Payment Required response
- LLM inference timeout may return partial or no analysis
- Start date too far in the past may exceed available data range
