## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: What are the latest US weekly jobless claims numbers — initial claims, continuing claims, the 4-week moving average, and how they changed week-over-week?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a consolidated, ready-to-use view of US weekly jobless claims data without making multiple FRED API calls. It is ideal for macro-focused trading agents, automated labor market monitors, or research workflows that need initial claims, continuing claims, and the 4-week moving average with computed week-over-week changes in a single low-cost call ($0.01). Prefer this over direct FRED access when you want pre-aggregated, analysis-ready output.

## Known failure modes

- FRED data source unavailable or delayed — endpoint may return stale or error response
- Weekly data not yet released for current week — most recent available week returned instead
- Network timeout if FRED API is slow to respond
- Unexpected schema changes in upstream FRED data may cause parsing errors

## How this service works

US weekly jobless claims in one call, live from FRED: initial claims, continuing claims, and 4-week moving average of initial claims, with week-over-week change computed where available — a leading labor-market indicator that drives risk-off and day-trading directional calls. Replaces 3 separate FRED series lookups. Not ticker-specific. $0.01/call.

## Output

Returns a structured response containing the most recent initial jobless claims figure, continuing claims figure, 4-week moving average of initial claims, and week-over-week change calculations where available — all sourced live from FRED in a single call.
