## 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-us-macroeconomic-time-series-44cad1b9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the US CPI time series data for me — I need the full set of observations as JSON, no API key required, just pay per request.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need clean, stable US macroeconomic time series data (CPI, unemployment, payrolls, GDP, rates) as JSON without signing up for an account or obtaining an API key — ideal for agents that need deterministic, per-request access to official macro data paid in USDC microtransactions.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled series name returns an error or empty result
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure and no data returned
- Source data temporarily unavailable may delay or fail the response
- Invalid request body format (missing 'series' field) returns a validation error

## How this service works

## Output

A JSON object containing all historical observations for the requested macroeconomic series (e.g. CPI, unemployment, payrolls, GDP, or interest rates), deterministic per source vintage, returned as a stable structured response.
