## 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 www-stratalize-com-bc89db6d
```

Example prompt: What are the current FX benchmark rates with USD as the base currency — I need DXY, carry spread, and weekly changes for my treasury exposure review.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive daily FX benchmark snapshot across multiple major currency pairs in a single call, particularly when DXY trade-weighted index, carry spread, and trend change data are needed alongside spot rates. Prefer over raw broker feeds when FRED-sourced macro-grade data is required for treasury, compliance, or portfolio analysis contexts.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid base_currency value (not USD, EUR, or GBP) returns a 400 validation error
- FRED data feed delay or outage may result in stale or unavailable rates
- Payment not fulfilled (x402 protocol) results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout if upstream FRED source is slow to respond

## How this service works
