## 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-intelligence-api-ecb-euro-reference-rates-c7db93cb
```

Example prompt: What are the official ECB euro exchange rates right now? I need the latest EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, and EUR/CHF rates along with how much each changed from yesterday's fixing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, authoritative EUR-based exchange rates as published by the European Central Bank, particularly for regulatory, accounting, or financial reporting contexts where the ECB reference rate is the required standard. Prefer this over commercial FX feeds when ECB-official rates are mandated or when you specifically need the EUR as the base currency with ~30 cross rates in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- ECB data not yet published for the current day (rates are published around 16:00 CET on business days)
- Network or upstream API error returning a 5xx status
- Rate limit or payment failure returning a 402 or 429 error
- Weekend or ECB holiday — no new fixing published, may return previous business day's rates
