How this service works
Use when an agent needs the official inflation rate (year-on-year consumer prices) for a country: Eurostat HICP for the euro area, EU and 36 European countries (incl. CH, NO, TR) and US CPI-U from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Latest month plus up to 36 months of history, flash estimates flagged. Source named in every answer. Bad input: HTTP 400 before payment; outage is not charged.
Output
A JSON object containing the country code, the latest month's year-on-year inflation rate with date and value, a time-series array of up to 36 monthly readings, a flag indicating whether the latest figure is a flash estimate, and a named source field (Eurostat HICP or BLS CPI-U).
Example use cases
Eurozone inflation dashboard update
“Fetch the latest official HICP inflation rate for the euro area (EA) along with the past 24 months of history — I need to update my macro dashboard and want to know if this month's figure is a flash estimate.”
US CPI check for portfolio valuation
“What's the current official US CPI-U inflation rate? Give me the last 12 months so I can use the trend in my real-return bond portfolio calculation.”
Cross-country inflation comparison for report
“I'm writing a report on inflation divergence — can you get me the latest official inflation figures for France (FR), Spain (ES), and Poland (PL) with 6 months of history each?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-apis.pages.dev/v1/inflation?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need official, government-sourced consumer price inflation data — not market forecasts or third-party estimates. It is the right choice for any agent answering macro questions about eurozone (HICP), EU member states, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, or the US (CPI-U). Prefer it over generic financial data APIs when source attribution, flash-estimate flagging, and historical series up to 36 months are required, and when paying per-call in USDC micro-transactions (x402) is acceptable.
Side effects
- HTTP 400 returned before payment is charged when country code is invalid or missing
- HTTP 400 if months parameter is outside 1–36 range
- Data unavailable for very recent months if the official statistical release has not yet occurred
- Service outage does not result in a charge
- Flash estimates may be revised in subsequent months
