## 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-c8af29ce
```

Example prompt: Pull all current inflation benchmarks — CPI, core PCE, TIPS breakevens, and the Fed target gap — so I can assess how sticky inflation is right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a macro agent, CFO, or fixed income portfolio manager needs a comprehensive, up-to-date snapshot of the U.S. inflation landscape including both headline and core measures, breakeven inflation expectations, and the gap to the Fed's target. Prefer this over generic economic data APIs when you need inflation-specific components like shelter and medical CPI in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- FRED data feed unavailable — returns 503 or stale data flag
- Invalid measure enum value — returns 400 bad request
- No data for requested component — returns empty or null field
- Payment not processed — returns 402 payment required

## How this service works

Use when a macro agent or CFO needs current inflation trajectory and Fed target gap. Returns CPI, core CPI, PCE, core PCE, TIPS breakevens, shelter and medical components. Example: CPI 3.3%, core PCE 2.8%, Fed target gap 80bps — sticky inflation. Source: FRED daily.

## Output

A structured response containing current values for CPI, core CPI, PCE, core PCE, TIPS breakeven rates, shelter and medical sub-components, and the calculated gap between current inflation and the Fed's 2% target, all sourced from FRED daily data.
