## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability air-quality-bangalore-real-time-ba65d0ab
```

Example prompt: What's the air quality in Bangalore right now? I want to know the AQI, PM2.5, and whether it's safe to go for a run outside.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, multi-pollutant air quality data specifically for Bangalore with both European and US AQI standards, especially for health or outdoor-activity decisions. It is ideal over generic weather APIs that omit pollutant-level detail, and over broader air quality APIs when a simple, pre-configured Bangalore-specific call with a health label is needed at low cost.

## Known failure modes

- Data source unavailability from Open-Meteo/CAMS resulting in stale or missing readings
- Network timeout from the endpoint returning no response
- Payment failure if the $0.01 USDC x402 payment is not processed correctly
- Unexpected response format if the upstream CAMS data schema changes
