## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs lightweight, on-demand access to key macroeconomic indicators (US 10Y yield, VIX) priced at $0.003 per call via x402 micropayments on Base, with no subscription required. Ideal for agents that need macro context infrequently or on a per-decision basis rather than a continuous data stream.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or unrecognized properties filter — may return empty or partial results
- Network or worker downtime — returns 5xx error
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429 or similar error
