## 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 sitecheck-economic-indicator-lookup-a312a219
```

Example prompt: Pull Germany's annual inflation rate for the last 15 years from the World Bank — I want to see how it's trended since 2010.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, multi-year macroeconomic time-series data for a specific country sourced from the World Bank. It is ideal for economic research, financial analysis, compliance reporting, or policy briefs requiring authoritative national statistics. Prefer this over scraped or estimated data sources when World Bank coverage and CC BY 4.0 attribution are acceptable. Choose this over a general web search when you need clean, machine-readable JSON series rather than prose summaries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized country code/name returns an error
- Unknown or unsupported indicator code returns an error
- Years parameter outside 1–60 range may be rejected or clamped
- World Bank upstream may have gaps or null values for certain country-year combinations
- Some indicators may not have data for all countries (sparse series)
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Macro indicators for any country from the World Bank (CC BY 4.0): GDP, GDP growth, GDP per capita, inflation (CPI), unemployment, population, current account, government debt and lending interest rate, with the year, value and unit of each. Country by ISO2 or ISO3 code or exact name; indicator by friendly name or a raw World Bank code. Values lag by one to two years; years with no published value are left out.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a time-series array of annual values (year + value) sorted newest first, the resolved country name and ISO3 code, the indicator's World Bank code and human-readable name with units, the data source string with CC BY 4.0 attribution, and a checkedAt timestamp. Also includes a disclaimer that the data is informational only.
