## 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 osf-economic-indicators-search-319a7d3c
```

Example prompt: Search for 'unemployment rate' across all economic data sources — FRED, BLS, World Bank — and give me the latest values with their periods and source URLs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve macroeconomic or financial indicator data from authoritative government and international sources (FRED, World Bank, BEA, BLS, CFTC, ECB, EIA, US Treasury) by keyword search. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, provenance-stamped data with source URLs for verifiable research or financial analysis tasks.

## Known failure modes

- No matching indicators found for the given keyword — returns empty result set
- Ambiguous keyword matches too many series — returns a broad set requiring further filtering
- Data source temporarily unavailable — partial results or service error
- Query string missing or empty — returns validation error
- Rate limit or payment failure — 402 payment required response

## How this service works

Search economic indicators by keyword: Federal Reserve series (FRED), World Bank development data, US Treasury rates, national accounts (BEA), labor statistics (BLS), commitments of traders (CFTC), ECB foreign-exchange rates, and energy data (EIA). Returns indicator, value, period, and a provenance URL per match. For macroeconomic, financial, and research agents.

## Output

Returns a list of matching economic indicators, each with the indicator name, its current or latest value, the time period it covers, the source dataset (e.g. FRED, BLS, World Bank), and a provenance URL linking back to the original data record.
