Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 veradata-latam-data-rates-lookup-453d0d6b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest verified exchange rates for Brazil using the standard rates method from VeraData — I need the result with an audit hash so I can confirm the data integrity.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need verified, auditable data specifically from Latin American markets and require a cryptographic audit hash to prove data integrity. It is preferable over generic financial data APIs when LATAM-specific coverage and data verification (audit trail) are required, and when operating in an autonomous agent context that supports x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'type' or 'method' fields in input object returns a 400-level validation error
- Invalid or unsupported data type/method combination may return an error or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents data delivery
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Requesting data for a country or metric not covered by VeraData returns no result

## How this service works

Verified Latin American Data for Autonomous AI Agents — x402 micropayments

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'result' field with structured LATAM data (e.g. rates, financial figures) and an 'audit_hash' field (SHA-256) that cryptographically attests to the data's provenance and integrity.
