```

Example prompt: Can you pull a food cost report for Germany (geo DE) under the food category CP01, covering Tomaten and Schlangengurken — I need the consumer price indices and the net wholesale quotes?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined view of official HICP consumer price indices alongside German BLE net wholesale quotes for specific food products within a COICOP category. It is ideal for food economists, procurement analysts, and inflation researchers who need both retail consumer and wholesale perspectives in one report with category-weight contribution modelling. Prefer this over the headline dashboard endpoint when you need product-level granularity rather than category summaries, and over the HICP-only endpoints when wholesale price context is also required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported geo code returns an error (only AT and DE are licensed)
- Unknown COICOP category code returns a validation error
- Product names not found in BLE product groups may return empty or partial data
- Exceeding 8 product items (maxItems) causes a validation failure
- Product strings shorter than 2 characters or longer than 80 characters are rejected
- Austrian retail band data unavailable — AT requests may return incomplete results

## How this service works

Food cost report from official local extracts. Example: geo DE, category CP01, products Tomaten and Schlangengurken. Consumer indices and German net wholesale quotes retain their own periods and units. Contributions are a category-weight model, not an official additive decomposition. AT retail bands remain unavailable pending acceptance.

## Output

A food cost report containing official HICP consumer price indices and German BLE net wholesale quotes for the requested products within the specified COICOP food category and country. Includes category-weight model contributions (not an official additive decomposition) and retains original period and unit conventions for each data source. Note: Austrian retail scanner bands are not yet available.
