## 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 citiview-geocoding-api-ecafd693
```

Example prompt: What are the latitude and longitude coordinates for the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Give me up to 3 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to convert free-text place names, landmarks, or addresses into geographic coordinates with enriched metadata (timezone, population, postcode). It combines GeoNames city data with OpenStreetMap POI/address coverage, making it suitable for both city-level and address-level geocoding in a single call. Prefer this over pure reverse-geocoding APIs when the input is a human-readable string rather than coordinates.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous place name returns results for unintended location — use more specific query
- No results found for very obscure or misspelled addresses
- limit parameter outside 1–10 range may be rejected or clamped
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a validation error
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Geocode a place, landmark or street address to latitude/longitude with city, region, country, postcode, timezone and population where known. Cities via GeoNames, addresses and points of interest via OpenStreetMap.

## Output

Returns up to 10 results (default 5), each containing latitude and longitude coordinates along with available metadata: city name, region/state, country, postcode, timezone identifier, and population count where known. Results are ranked by relevance to the query.
