Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://finance-api.kdlcfa.workers.dev/unemployment-rate?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.01 USDC) programmatic lookup of the official US unemployment rate (FRED UNRATE series) without needing to integrate directly with the FRED API. Ideal for economic dashboards, macro research agents, or Fed policy monitoring workflows that need a single authoritative US labor market figure. Not suited for historical time-series, international unemployment data, or sub-national (state/city) unemployment breakdowns.
Side effects
- FRED data source unavailable — upstream service outage may delay or block response
- Stale data — UNRATE is updated monthly so the figure may not reflect the most current week
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC not completed, blocking access
- Rate limiting or worker-level errors from the Cloudflare Workers host
- Empty or malformed response if FRED API changes its schema
