## 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 synthora-world-bank-unemployment-rate-ilo-modeled-c62a5d0d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the ILO-modeled unemployment rates from the World Bank for Japan, Germany, and the United States for 2021 through 2023 and show me how they compare year by year.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, keyless access to ILO-modeled unemployment rates from the World Bank for one or multiple countries across a date range, especially in agentic or multi-agent macro dashboards. Prefer it over direct World Bank API calls when you need a simple POST interface with x402 micropayment support and a clean JSON response without manual pagination handling.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized country name/code returns empty or error result
- Future or unsupported date ranges return no data
- Malformed date string causes a bad request
- World Bank upstream API unavailability causes downstream failure
- Semicolon-separated country list with typos silently drops affected countries

## How this service works

Total unemployment as a percentage of the labor force (ILO-modeled) for one or many countries, semicolon-separated, from the keyless World Bank API (indicator SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS). Powers autonomous labor-market agents and agent-to-agent macro dashboards comparing employment health across economies. First 3 calls FREE per wallet — send header X-WALLET: 0x<addr>. No charge on upstream failure.

## Output

A JSON object keyed by country name, each containing a sub-object of year-to-unemployment-rate (float, % of labor force) mappings, plus a provenance block with the original World Bank API URL and source label.
