## 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 oracle-network-jp-data-fly-dev-7b936a06
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Japan business-cycle indicator series from the Cabinet Office — I want to see the current leading, coincident, and lagging component values like new job openings, consumer confidence, and real machinery orders for this month.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, official Japanese government business-cycle data (Cabinet Office 景気動向指数 composite index components) in a structured, machine-readable format. Prefer this over general web scraping or unofficial sources when you need named series with units and official reference months. Best for monthly macroeconomic monitoring, Japan economic research, or enriching financial analysis with government-sourced leading/coincident/lagging indicators.

## Known failure modes

- Monthly data not yet published — e-Stat may not have updated figures for the current month, resulting in previous month's data or an empty series
- Upstream e-Stat API outage — service may return an error or stale cache if the Japanese government statistics portal is unavailable
- Network timeout on fly.dev — cold-start latency on the serverless host may cause occasional timeouts
- Partial series — some component indicators may be missing values (null) if not yet released by the Cabinet Office for the reference month

## How this service works

Japan business-cycle indicator series (景気動向指数) from the Cabinet Office via e-Stat, for AI agents tracking the JP macroeconomy. Returns the latest month's official component series of the leading/coincident/lagging composite index — new job openings, real machinery orders, consumer confidence, money stock and more — each with its official name, value and unit. Authoritative government source; not investment advice. Updated monthly.

## Output

An array of indicator series objects, each containing an official code, Japanese name, numeric value, and unit (e.g. index points, 10,000 yen), plus a referenceMonth string (YYYY-MM) indicating which month's data is returned and a collected_at timestamp.
