## 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 ni-biashara-africa-fx-daily-brief-05fd3b1d
```

Example prompt: Pull this morning's Africa FX daily brief — I need both the official and parallel rates with spreads for all supported pairs like USD-KES and USD-NGN so I can update our remittance pricing engine.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single morning snapshot covering ALL supported African pairs with both official and parallel rates in one call, rather than making multiple per-pair requests. Ideal for pricing engines, remittance platforms, and dashboards that need a comprehensive Africa FX brief at the start of each trading day. Prefer over the single-pair endpoint when you need multi-currency coverage or spread analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Stale data if morning aggregation pipeline is delayed — check generated_at timestamp
- HTTP 402 if x402 payment of 0.5 USDC is not included or fails
- Partial payload if some parallel rate sources (P2P order books) are temporarily unavailable
- Rate limiting if called too frequently within a single day

## How this service works

Africa FX daily brief. Every official pair plus both parallel quotes and spreads in one structured payload — the one call a pricing or remittance agent needs each morning.

## Output

A JSON payload containing two arrays: 'official' (official central-bank rates per pair, e.g. USD-KES: 129.2) and 'parallel' (street/P2P mid-market rates per pair, e.g. USD-NGN: 1389.1), plus a 'generated_at' ISO timestamp indicating when the brief was produced. Covers all supported African currency pairs in a single call.
