## 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-eia-weekly-oil-inventories-ab76e993
```

Example prompt: Pull this week's EIA oil inventory report — I want to see US commercial crude stocks, Cushing levels, gasoline and distillate inventories, the weekly changes, how they compare to the 5-year average, plus refinery utilization and crude production.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, government-sourced weekly US petroleum inventory data in a single structured call. It consolidates the full EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report into one response, making it superior to scraping EIA's website or parsing their spreadsheets. Ideal for energy traders, macro analysts, or any agent that needs to contextualize oil price moves, assess supply/demand balance, or update a commodity dashboard on a Wednesday cadence.

## Known failure modes

- EIA data not yet released for the current week (report releases Wednesdays — calls before release return prior week data or an error)
- API payment failure if x402 micropayment is not properly handled
- Upstream EIA data delay or revision causing stale figures
- No query parameters accepted — passing parameters returns an error or they are silently ignored
