## 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 uk-property-data-api-bank-of-england-interest-rate-history-d2bbb5df -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current Bank of England base rate and how has it changed over the last 12 months? Pull the full history for me.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative Bank of England base rate data with historical context, particularly for UK property investment analysis, mortgage affordability modelling, or rental yield calculations. It is purpose-built for AI agent consumption and priced per call via x402, making it ideal for lightweight, on-demand lookups rather than bulk financial data subscriptions. Prefer this over general financial data APIs when the use case is specifically UK residential property market analysis.

## Known failure modes

- months parameter below 1 or above 120 may return validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol if USDC balance is insufficient
- Upstream Bank of England data unavailability may cause 503 or stale data
- Missing or malformed JSON body may result in 400 bad request

## How this service works

Production API for UK sold prices, rental yields, and stamp duty. Paid via x402 protocol. Designed for AI agent consumption.
