# Market Indices & Macro Indicators API

> Market Indices & Macro Indicators API is a paid API for AI agents from market.memoryapi.org, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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-memoryapi-org-ce3f204c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the current macro market snapshot — I want to see the S&P 500, NASDAQ, VIX, 10-year Treasury yield, WTI oil, gold price, and USD/EUR exchange rate all in one place?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a broad macro market snapshot across multiple asset classes (equities, volatility, rates, commodities, FX) in a single call. Prefer this over individual ticker endpoints when you want a high-level economic overview rather than a specific stock quote. Ideal for daily briefings, market summaries, or context-setting before deeper analysis.

## Known failure modes

- FRED data source unavailable — upstream data fetch failure
- Payment required (402) if x402 payment header not included
- Rate limiting if too many calls in a short period
- Stale data if FRED has not updated recently
