## 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 zaref-dev-south-african-gdp-growth-history-435ba9cc
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full historical record of South Africa's GDP growth rates — every verified data point over time — so I can see how the economy has trended?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a full historical time-series of South African GDP growth rather than just the current or latest figure. It is ideal for trend analysis, charting economic trajectories, or feeding historical context into financial models. Prefer this over sibling snapshot endpoints when you need all historical records rather than a single point-in-time value.

## Known failure modes

- No data returned if the series has not yet been populated
- Payment required error (402) if x402 micropayment header is missing or invalid
- Network timeout if the endpoint is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed response if the upstream data source is being updated
