## 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 compacthost-weather-api-de63e0e4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current temperature and today's weather in Denver, CO?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call weather lookup with no subscription overhead, especially in autonomous agent workflows that settle payments in USDC on Base. It is ideal for low-frequency queries where a subscription-based weather API would be overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or misspelled location name returns an error or empty result
- Network timeout if the upstream weather provider is unavailable
- Invalid input schema (non-string location) returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call before it reaches the weather logic
