## 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 market-calendar-api-next-fomc-ecb-meeting-1964f2c9
```

Example prompt: What's the next Fed meeting date and exact time of the rate decision and press conference, including whether they'll publish projections?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or workflow needs the single next upcoming FOMC or ECB meeting with precise timing details including UTC times and the projections flag. Prefer this over the full-year listing endpoint when only the next event is needed for alerting, trading triggers, or event-driven workflows. Best for real-time or near-real-time lookups rather than historical or multi-month planning.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'bank' parameter value returns a 400 error
- Invalid date format for 'date' parameter returns a 400 error
- No upcoming meeting found within a reasonable horizon returns empty or null result
- Service unavailable on render.com free tier cold start causes slow initial response
- Network timeout if the hosted service is sleeping (cold start on Render free tier)

## How this service works

Returns the next Federal Reserve (FOMC) and/or ECB monetary policy decision with statement and press conference times in local time and UTC, and whether projections are published.

## Output

Returns structured data for the next meeting(s) of the selected central bank(s), including: meeting date, statement/decision release time in local timezone and UTC, press conference time in local timezone and UTC, and a boolean flag indicating whether economic projections (dot plot / staff projections) will be published at that meeting.
