## 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-who-health-statistics-by-country-43a646e0
```

Example prompt: What's the latest WHO life expectancy data for India, including the 5-year change and breakdown by sex? Use indicator WHOSIS_000001 and country code IND.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need standardized WHO health statistics — especially life expectancy and mortality — for a specific country, including historical context and sex-disaggregated breakdowns. Ideal for health research, policy analysis, country comparison dashboards, or any workflow that needs structured WHO indicator data without building a WHO API integration from scratch. Best when you already know the WHO indicator code or can search for it by name.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ISO country code returns an error or empty result
- Unknown or misspelled WHO indicator code returns no data
- Some indicators may not have data for all countries, resulting in null fields
- 5-year change may be null if insufficient historical data exists
- Stale data if WHO has not updated the indicator recently (checked_at timestamp reflects last check)

## How this service works

WHO health statistics by country - life expectancy, mortality and other WHO indicators with latest value by sex, history and 5-year change; search indicators by name

## Output

A JSON object containing the WHO indicator code, country name, indicator name, data source, the most recent year available, latest values (typically broken down by sex), an ordered array of historical data points, and the numeric change compared to 5 years earlier. Also includes a timestamp for when the data was last checked.
