## 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 stockwaves-macro-indicator-lookup-9dabfb19
```

Example prompt: What's the current China LPR rate — give me the latest value, the prior reading, and how much it changed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a single, specific macro data point — just the number, delta, and date — without narrative commentary or multi-asset context. Particularly valuable for China-specific indicators (LPR, northbound flow, A-share breadth, SSE) that are rarely available in English from Western data providers. At $0.003 per call it is cheap enough to poll repeatedly. Prefer the cross-asset decision brief sibling if the agent needs a trade-ready synthesis across multiple indicators simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported indicator name returns an error — only the 21 enumerated names are valid
- Stale data if the underlying data reseller has not updated the indicator recently
- Network timeout or 402 payment failure if the x402 micropayment is not processed correctly
- Missing or malformed query parameter returns a 400-level error

## How this service works

One macro datapoint, cheap: value + prior + delta + date for a single indicator, for agents that want a number rather than a report. Differentiated CHINA coverage in English: lpr, cn10y, sse, hsi, usdcny, a_share_turnover, a_share_breadth, northbound. Plus US/global: fed, us10y, us2y, us_yield_curve, us_cpi, us_unemployment, us_hy_spread, us_financial_stress, nasdaq, vix, gold, wti, usdjpy. Query ?name=lpr. Data reseller output, not investment advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing the indicator name, its current value, the prior period value, the delta between them, and the date of the latest reading. Designed to give an agent a single precise number rather than a narrative report.
