## 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-unemployment-rate-latest-value-037828f1
```

Example prompt: What's the latest reported US unemployment rate? Just give me the current figure and when it was recorded.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the single latest snapshot of the US unemployment rate without needing historical series. Prefer this over the 'new prints since timestamp' sibling endpoint when you just want the current value, not a changelog or delta feed.

## Known failure modes

- Data source unavailable — upstream BLS/FRED feed is down or delayed
- Invalid entity ID — if an unrecognized entityId is passed, may return empty or error
- No new data — if no recent prints are available, may return stale or empty response
- Payment not fulfilled — x402 payment required; missing or invalid payment returns 402 error
