Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 24k-labs-geocoding-api-5f698ab7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the latitude, longitude, country, and population for Tokyo? I need the full geocoding details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost geocode lookup (name → coordinates + metadata) and you don't need reverse geocoding (coordinates → name). It's ideal for pipelines that need to feed lat/lng into weather or mapping APIs, or when you need population data alongside coordinates. Backed by Open-Meteo's geocoding data, which covers cities and towns globally.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous place names (e.g. 'Springfield') may resolve to an unexpected location
- Misspelled or unrecognized place names return no result or an error
- Very small settlements or obscure locations may not be in the dataset
- API returns an error if required place name field is missing from the request body

## How this service works

Turn a place name into latitude/longitude, country, and population (Open-Meteo geocoding).

## Output

Returns the latitude, longitude, country name, and population for the resolved place, as returned by Open-Meteo's geocoding service.
