{"service":"ConsumerPulse","version":"1.0.0","tagline":"US consumer-demand signal (retail sales, the demand-side mirror of CyclePulse).","description":"US consumer-demand signal — the demand-side mirror of CyclePulse. Returns headline retail & food-services sales with month and year trend, the core measure (excluding autos and gasoline — the cleaner underlying-demand read), e-commerce vs restaurant spending, a 13-sector year-over-year breakdown with the strongest and weakest movers, and a plain-English consumer phase (resilient, softening, stalling, or pullback). Use it to read whether the US consumer is accelerating or cooling, gauge discretionary demand and the online-shift, and pair with supply-side (CyclePulse) and macro data. Values are nominal (not inflation-adjusted). Pay-per-call $0.05 in USDC on Base via x402. Data = US Census Advance Retail Trade (MARTS), US government public domain.","when_to_call":["Read whether the US consumer is accelerating or cooling","Gauge discretionary spending, e-commerce shift, and restaurant demand","Pair consumer demand with supply-side (CyclePulse) and macro data before a decision"],"price":"$0.05 USDC via x402 on Base mainnet","payment":{"protocol":"x402","network":"base-mainnet","asset":"USDC","payTo":"0x52Ab53912D37759B2ad364f22dD06B16714b6C06"},"endpoints":{"/consumer":"consumer-demand signal  $0.05","/health":"status (free)"},"provider":"LoneStarOracle","catalog":"https://lonestaroracle.xyz","mcp":"https://mcp.lonestaroracle.xyz"}
