Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/federal-debt-total?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the single most authoritative, up-to-date US federal debt figure — to the penny — with a public vs. intragovernmental breakdown, sourced from Treasury reporting. Prefer this over scraped or estimated sources for macro dashboards, fiscal policy content, or economics agents requiring precision and a named record date.
Side effects
- Service unavailable if upstream Treasury data feed is delayed or down
- Stale data up to 6 hours old during cache window — not suitable for sub-hourly precision needs
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 payment not properly configured
- No data returned on weekends or federal holidays when Treasury does not publish updates
