# US Macro Indicators Dashboard

> US Macro Indicators Dashboard is a paid API for AI agents from x402-stock-indicators.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns key US macroeconomic indicators in a single call — Fed funds rate, unemployment, CPI/core CPI/PCE inflation (YoY), real GDP growth (QoQ annualized), industrial production (YoY), retail sales (MoM), and consumer sentiment — sourced live from FRED with percentage-change math pre-computed.

## 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 us-macro-indicators-dashboard-2f95ca15
```

Example prompt: Give me a full snapshot of the current US economy — I need the Fed funds rate, unemployment, CPI and PCE inflation, GDP growth, industrial production, retail sales, and consumer sentiment all in one shot.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a broad, cross-series US macroeconomic snapshot in a single request rather than querying multiple FRED series individually. It is ideal for dashboards, briefings, or agent workflows that require current macro context without building FRED integration or computing YoY/MoM changes manually. Prefer it over individual FRED lookups when you need 6–8 indicators simultaneously at low cost ($0.01/call). Not suitable for ticker-specific or equity-level data.

## Known failure modes

- FRED API outage or rate limiting causing stale or missing data
- Partial data returned if one or more FRED series is temporarily unavailable
- HTTP 402 if payment not attached or USDC balance insufficient
- Stale data if FRED has not yet published the latest release for a given series
- Network timeout on Vercel cold start

## How this service works

Key US macro indicators in one call, live from FRED: Fed funds rate, unemployment rate, CPI/core CPI/PCE inflation (YoY), real GDP growth (QoQ annualized), industrial production (YoY), retail sales (MoM), and consumer sentiment -- roughly 8 separate FRED series lookups collapsed into one request, with YoY/MoM math already done. Not ticker-specific. $0.01/call.

## Output

A single JSON response containing approximately 8 live FRED series values: Fed funds rate (%), unemployment rate (%), CPI YoY % change, core CPI YoY % change, PCE YoY % change, real GDP QoQ annualized % change, industrial production YoY % change, retail sales MoM % change, and consumer sentiment index — with YoY/MoM math already calculated.
