## 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 teuerung-food-hicp-inflation-movers-468c5381 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me the top 5 food HICP categories with the biggest price increases and decreases in Germany, broken down at the COICOP subclass level (level 3).

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a ranked, at-a-glance summary of which food categories are inflating or deflating fastest in a given country, rather than looking up a single specific category's rate. It is better than a single-category lookup when the user wants to discover top movers without knowing which categories to query in advance.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid geo code returns an error or empty result
- Requested COICOP level has no published data for the country
- Top value out of range (below 3 or above 15) triggers validation error
- Country has not reported HICP data for the current period, yielding stale or missing results

## How this service works

Published food HICP categories with the strongest increases and decreases. Example: geo DE, top 5. Consumer index changes describe inflation, not store prices.

## Output

An ordered list of food HICP categories — split into top risers and top fallers — each with the COICOP category code, category label, and the percentage change figure, for the specified country and COICOP hierarchy depth.
