Example prompt: Can you pull me a MacroLens AI trade analysis starting from January 2020 and give me the key macro-economic takeaways on global trade flows and balances?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-synthesized macro-economic trade analysis combining authoritative FRED and World Bank data — particularly useful for investors, researchers, or analysts who want LLM-interpreted trade insights rather than raw data. Prefer over generic economic APIs when you want the MiMo LLM layer to contextualize and explain trade trends.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'start' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid date format in 'start' field causes parsing failure
- FRED or World Bank upstream data unavailable leads to partial or failed response
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance blocks access with 402 response
- Date range too far in the past may have limited data coverage
