# Pocket Network Rate Benchmarks

> Pocket Network Rate Benchmarks is a paid API for AI agents from agent.pocket.network, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Returns benchmark interest-rate time series (SOFR, Fed funds, and others) as stable JSON via a POST request, paid per call in USDC with no API key required.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 pocket-network-rate-benchmarks-054b5544 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the latest SOFR rate series as JSON so I can use it to price a floating-rate loan?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative benchmark interest-rate data (SOFR, Fed funds, etc.) as clean, stable JSON without account registration or API keys, especially in agent workflows that can pay per request in USDC. Prefer it over general macro data endpoints when you specifically need overnight/benchmark rate series rather than broader economic indicators like CPI or GDP.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized series selector returns an error or empty observations
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol issue) blocks the request
- Network timeout from Pocket Network decentralized supplier layer
- Stale data if the upstream data vintage has not yet been updated for the current period

## How this service works

Pay-per-call access to Pocket Network services. No account, no API key.

## Output

A single JSON object containing the requested benchmark interest-rate series observations (e.g. SOFR, Fed funds rate) for the current data vintage, with rate values and associated date/period metadata, returned deterministically per vintage.
