## 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 strale-country-trade-data-1d7ccf0c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the trade data for Japan — I want to see its imports and exports, preferably for 2022?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need auditable, verifiable country-level trade data (imports, exports, balance) with a cryptographic audit trail. Particularly useful for compliance, research, or financial reporting workflows where data provenance matters. Prefer this over generic web scraping when you need structured, consistently formatted trade statistics across 27 countries with per-call audit records.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country_code returns an error — only country codes from supported set of 27 countries are accepted
- Missing required country_code parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Requesting an unsupported or future year may return no data or an error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing (x402 payment required)
- Network timeout or upstream data unavailability returns a 5xx error
