## 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 api-the402-ai-da2900b3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current weather in Miami, Florida right now? Use the402 weather service and pay the micropayment fee to get the latest conditions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when your AI agent needs on-demand weather data and operates within an x402 micropayment-capable environment. Ideal for agent workflows where you want pay-per-call pricing ($0.002 USDC) rather than a subscription, and where the agent is already integrated with the the402.ai marketplace for other services.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed micropayment — payment authorization rejected
- Invalid or unrecognized location input — service returns error or empty result
- Service temporarily unavailable on the402.ai marketplace — 503 or timeout
- Payment protocol (x402) not supported by the calling agent — request fails at payment negotiation step
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the underlying weather data provider
