Example prompt: Can you pull up the full history of South Africa's BCEA earnings threshold — I need every recorded value with its effective date so I can see how the threshold has changed over the years?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the full time series of BCEA earnings threshold values — for compliance audits, historical payroll analysis, trend tracking, or building a dataset of how South African working-time protections have shifted. If you only need the current threshold, prefer the non-history BCEA endpoint on zaref.dev.

## Known failure modes

- No data available yet (empty array if no thresholds recorded)
- Service temporarily unavailable (5xx error)
- Payment not accepted or insufficient USDC balance (402 error)
