## 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-84a53b40
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest FRED economic indicators for me — I want to see key macroeconomic data like GDP, inflation, and unemployment from the Federal Reserve.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to FRED economic indicators without managing a FRED API key, and you are already operating in an x402/USDC micropayment environment on Base. It is suitable for agents that need lightweight, on-demand macroeconomic data lookups at very low cost ($0.001 per call).

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — 402 response if USDC payment via x402 is not included or fails
- Invalid properties parameter — malformed or unrecognized FRED series identifier returns an error
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the Render-hosted backend
- Empty or null response if no matching economic indicator found for the given properties
- Network timeout from Render cold-start latency

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, and compliance APIs. Settled in USDC on Base via x402. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/rwa-aggregates, /x402/gas-tracker).

## Output

Returns Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) economic indicator data, likely including time series values, series identifiers, dates, and macroeconomic metrics such as GDP, CPI, unemployment rates, and interest rates sourced from the St. Louis Fed FRED database.
