## 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 srch-best-economy-data-5c83eb6d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the US unemployment rate and consumer prices data from 2000 to 2023 so I can see how they trended over that period?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, pre-parsed US macroeconomic time-series data (unemployment, CPI, payroll, wages) for a specific year range without scraping or parsing raw government sources. Ideal for agent pipelines requiring clean JSON economic data paid per-request via x402 micro-payments. Prefer over web search when you need machine-readable structured data rather than text results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid year range (fromYear > toYear or outside 1900–2100) returns validation error
- Empty or invalid metrics array returns schema validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
- Data unavailable for very early or future years may return partial or empty series
- Request with more than 4 metrics in the array is rejected
