## 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 openverbs-country-economic-indicators-029fdbe4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the World Bank economic indicators for Brazil — GDP, GDP per capita, real GDP growth, and population — for the last 5 complete years.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, World Bank-sourced annual economic indicators (GDP, GDP per capita, real GDP growth, population) for a specific country by ISO3 code, with historical depth up to 10 years. It is ideal for agents that need authoritative macroeconomic data without building a World Bank API integration. Prefer this over general web-search approaches when you need clean numeric time-series data with units and update timestamps. Not suitable for real-time economic data, regional aggregates, forecasts, or indicators beyond the four core WDI series it provides.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ISO 3166 alpha-3 country code returns an error — region aggregates (e.g. EUU, WLD) are not supported
- Years parameter out of range (less than 1 or more than 10) is rejected
- Some observations may be null for years where World Bank data is not yet available
- Stale cache flag is set when the service is serving data from an outage cache rather than live World Bank data
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing (x402 protocol)

## How this service works

Country economic indicators: GDP and GDP per capita in current USD, real GDP growth and population from World Bank WDI. Annual history for the last 1-10 complete calendar years by ISO3 country code, with per-series latest values, units, nulls, dataset update date and CC BY attribution. Historical estimates, not real-time data or forecasts; outage cache is flagged stale.

## Output

A JSON response containing annual time-series data for the requested country covering up to 10 complete calendar years, with values for GDP (current USD), GDP per capita (current USD), real GDP growth (%), and population. Each series includes its latest observed value, units, and null markers for missing observations. The response also includes the World Bank WDI dataset update date, a staleness flag if the data is from an outage cache, and CC BY attribution metadata.
