## 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-eu-macro-hicp-unemployment-243246d1
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest HICP inflation and unemployment rates for all EU countries and the euro area in one shot — I need the current figures and last month's values from Eurostat.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, single-call snapshot of EU macroeconomic conditions — HICP inflation and unemployment — across all member states and euro area aggregates simultaneously. It is ideal over manually querying Eurostat directly when you need structured, agent-consumable JSON output at low cost per call, especially for dashboards, pre-trade macro checks, or monitoring workflows that cover multiple countries at once.

## Known failure modes

- Eurostat data not yet updated for current month — returns most recently available period
- Payment not processed (x402 flow failure) — request rejected before data is returned
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — HTTP 429 response
- Service unavailable — upstream Eurostat feed outage
