## 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 payai-imf-world-economic-outlook-macro-forecast-a2df3d96

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need IMF-sourced macroeconomic forecasts and projections for a specific country, including future-year outlooks. Prefer this over a general macro basket endpoint when you want forward-looking WEO projections rather than current snapshot indicators. Best for sovereign economic analysis, cross-country comparisons, or when IMF citation is required.

## Known failure modes

- Country not recognized — invalid ISO-2, ISO-3, or country name returns an error
- Invalid indicator key in comma-separated list returns an error or is silently skipped
- IMF WEO data not available for very small or disputed territories
- Payment failure: 402 response if x402 payment not completed
- Stale data if IMF WEO database has not been updated since last release
