## 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 aviationapis-notam-decoder-b72f1edf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you decode this NOTAM for me and tell me what it means in plain English: 'A1234/24 NOTAMN Q) KZOA/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/3737N12222W005 A) KSFO B) 2406011200 C) 2406302359 E) RWY 10L/28R CLSD DUE WIP'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a raw NOTAM string (ICAO or FAA format) and need it parsed into structured fields or translated into plain English. Ideal for flight planning tools, briefing systems, or AI agents that need to interpret aeronautical notices without manual parsing logic.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or unrecognized NOTAM format returns an error
- Missing required 'raw' field returns a validation error
- Non-NOTAM text input results in parsing failure
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents call completion

## How this service works

Pay-per-call aviation data APIs for AI agents, settled in USDC via the x402 protocol.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the NOTAM ID, the original raw string, the body text, the NOTAM type, individual parsed fields (A, B, C, E, Q), and a human-readable decoded description of the NOTAM's meaning (e.g. 'runway 10L/28R closed due to work in progress').
