## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, internationally comparable consumer price inflation data backed by the Bank for International Settlements, covering ~60 economies with consistent methodology.

## Known failure modes

- Requesting a country with no BIS coverage returns null or missing data
- Missing required 'type', 'method', or 'bodyType' fields in input object causes validation error
- Data may lag by 1-2 months depending on BIS publication schedule

## How this service works

## Output

A JSON object containing the data source attribution ('Bank for International Settlements (WS_LONG_CPI)'), the total number of countries covered, and either a ranked array of all countries each with their name, ISO country code, latest month, and year-on-year inflation percentage — or a monthly time series for the requested country.
