## 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 world-bank-macroeconomic-indicators-api-0a6d97a5
```

Example prompt: Pull the World Bank macroeconomic data for the United States — give me the last 10 years of inflation (FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG), newest first.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official World Bank annual macroeconomic indicators (inflation, GDP, government debt, unemployment) for any of 200+ countries in normalized JSON format with caching. Prefer this over raw World Bank API calls for convenience, normalization, and caching. Ideal for trend analysis, cross-country comparisons, and economic research pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid ISO3 country code returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported or misspelled World Bank indicator ID returns no data
- Years parameter out of range (outside 1-20) may return an error
- World Bank upstream API unavailability may cause failures
- No data available for a country-indicator combination returns empty series

## How this service works

Annual macroeconomic series from the World Bank Indicators API, normalized JSON. Query: ?country=USA&indicator=FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG&years=5 (ISO3 country code; common indicators: FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG inflation %, NY.GDP.MKTP.CD GDP current US$, GC.DOD.TOTL.GD.ZS gov debt %GDP, SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS unemployment %). Returns the last N years with values, newest first. 200+ countries; 24h cache.

## Output

A normalized JSON array of annual data points for the requested country and World Bank indicator, sorted newest-first, covering the last N years with available values. Each record includes the year and the indicator value.
