## 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-unemployment-analysis-endpoint-0f8e23ff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull me an AI-powered unemployment analysis from MacroLens starting from January 2020 — I want to see how labor markets have trended since then, with insights drawn from FRED and World Bank data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-interpreted unemployment analysis combining FRED and World Bank data in a single call, especially when you want macro-economic narrative and context rather than raw data alone. Prefer this over direct FRED API calls when you need LLM-generated insights alongside the figures, and over general-purpose LLMs when you need grounded, sourced economic data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'start' field returns validation error
- Invalid date format in 'start' field causes parsing failure
- FRED or World Bank upstream data unavailability may return empty or partial data
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC causes x402 payment-required rejection
- Dates too far in the future or invalid ranges may return no data
