## 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 vextorium-commodity-price-history-5e55ee2b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the monthly price history for Brent crude oil over the last 12 months — I need the full series with min, max, and percent change.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need standardized, official World Bank Pink Sheet commodity price history in monthly granularity. Prefer it over scraped or exchange-specific data when you need authoritative, source-attributed price data for global commodities like crude oil, metals, and agricultural products. Best suited for economic analysis, trend detection, or enriching financial reports with official statistics.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown commodity name returns error or null result
- Invalid months value (non-integer or out-of-range) returns validation error
- Data not available for requested time range returns empty or partial series
- Network timeout or upstream World Bank data unavailability returns 5xx error

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the commodity name, data source attribution, date range (since/until in YYYY-MM format), a monthly price series array (each entry with month and price), plus summary stats: min, max, last price, and percentage change over the period.
