## 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 saylor-innovations-data-desk-us-economic-indicators-snapshot-6fe76d42
```

Example prompt: Give me a full US economic snapshot right now — I want the fed funds rate, CPI and core inflation year-over-year, unemployment, payrolls, GDP, 30-year mortgage rate, 10-year Treasury yield, yield curve shape, VIX, and oil price, along with how each has changed recently.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a broad, pre-aggregated US macro snapshot covering multiple indicator categories in a single call rather than fetching individual series from FRED or other statistical agencies separately. Ideal for dashboards, morning briefings, portfolio context, or any agent workflow that needs a quick read of the US economic environment without assembling data from multiple sources. At $0.01 per call it is cost-effective for frequent polling or monitoring use cases.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream data source unavailable — indicators array may be empty or null values returned
- Rate or quota limit exceeded — HTTP 402 or 429 response
- Stale data if upstream economic series has not been updated yet (e.g. GDP released quarterly)
- Network timeout on the provider side returning partial indicator set
- Payment not processed correctly via x402 protocol resulting in 402 Unauthorized
