## 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 scriptmasterlabs-fred-economic-indicators-api-537205c8
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest FRED economic indicators for me — things like CPI, unemployment rate, and GDP growth — using the ScriptMasterLabs x402 API so I can get a snapshot of current US macroeconomic conditions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call access to FRED macroeconomic indicators without managing a FRED API key yourself, and when your agent infrastructure already supports x402 micropayment settlement in USDC on Base. Ideal for agents that need occasional economic data lookups without a subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled in USDC on Base — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing indicator property parameters — returns empty or malformed response
- FRED upstream data unavailable — may return empty example object
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on render.com host — potential timeout or 503
- Schema underspecified — unclear which exact FRED series IDs are supported

## How this service works

## Output
