How this service works
Paid data APIs for AI agents: prediction-market analytics, weather intelligence, weather×market edge signals, and SEC/gov data. Paid endpoints use the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 + USDC on Base): call without payment to receive requirements, retry with an X-PAYMENT header. Machine-readable catalog: /llms.txt. Per-endpoint docs: /docs/{id}.
Output
Returns a structured object with: the PCE inflation series ID and title, units and frequency, the latest print (observation date, headline value, headline units, headline basis, first-release value, latest value, and a revised flag), a surprise object (actual, expected, surprise delta, expectation source as 'market-implied' or 'trend-model', expectation detail, and optionally a linked prediction market slug/probability/question), the next scheduled BEA release date, an array of the 12 most recent observations (date + value), and a revisions array showing first vs. latest values for prior periods.
Example use cases
Fed policy meeting prep
“Pull the latest PCE inflation number for me — I need to know the actual print, what the market expected, the surprise size, whether it was revised from first release, and when the next BEA release is scheduled.”
Inflation dashboard data feed
“Give me the most recent PCE inflation reading including the first-release value, the latest revised figure, whether it was revised, and the last 12 monthly observations so I can update my macro dashboard.”
Macro surprise monitoring for trading
“Did the latest PCE inflation data beat or miss expectations? Tell me the actual number, the expected value, the surprise magnitude, and whether the expectation came from a prediction market or a trend model.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-factory.com/v1/econ/pce-inflation?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a single, ready-to-use PCE inflation data package that combines the BEA's first-release and latest-revised values, a labeled expectation/surprise calculation, revision history, and a forward-looking next-release date — all in one call. Prefer it over raw FRED API access when you want the surprise vs. market-implied or trend-model expectation pre-computed, or when you need revision flags without manually diffing ALFRED vintages.
Side effects
- BEA/FRED data unavailable or delayed — API may return null or stale data
- No matching prediction market exists — expectation_source falls back to 'trend-model' with reduced accuracy
- Series not yet released for the current month — latest_print reflects prior month
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) — request rejected before data is returned
- Rate limit or network timeout — retry with backoff
