## 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 current-weather-now-lat-lon-or-place-name-7a3ff422 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current weather in Chicago right now — temperature, feels-like, wind, and whether it's raining? Give me the results in metric units.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, point-in-time weather conditions for a specific location (by coordinates or place name) and require fields like feels-like temperature, precipitation, and wind — not just temperature. Prefer this over forecast endpoints when the user is asking about right now rather than future days. It accepts either a place name or lat/lon, making it flexible for both geocoded and named-location queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude returns a validation error
- Unknown or ambiguous place name may return no results or an error
- Missing both lat/lon and place name returns a bad request error
- Network timeout if upstream weather data provider is unavailable
- Coordinates over ocean or remote areas may return limited data

## How this service works

Current weather anywhere: temperature, feels-like, wind, precipitation, conditions — Genesis402 / UnyKorn Operator Network

## Output

Returns current weather data for the requested location including actual temperature, feels-like temperature, wind speed and direction, precipitation amount or status, and a general conditions description (e.g. cloudy, sunny, rainy). Units reflect the requested system (metric or imperial, defaulting to metric).
