## 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 datakoot-place-brief-8268ea3b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a full place brief for Boulder, CO — current weather, forecast, any active alerts for Colorado, nearby earthquakes, and the elevation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-dimensional situational snapshot of a US location in a single call rather than calling separate weather, earthquake, and elevation APIs. It is ideal for travel planning, emergency monitoring, outdoor activity preparation, or any agent workflow that needs a quick environmental orientation to a US place. At $0.01 USDC per call it is cost-effective for on-demand lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Non-US location provided — endpoint only supports US cities and addresses
- Ambiguous place name that cannot be geocoded
- External data source (NWS, USGS) temporarily unavailable — may return partial data
- Payment failure — charge only applies on success, so a failed payment results in no data returned

## Output

A structured brief containing: current weather conditions (temperature, wind, sky), multi-day forecast, any active weather alerts for the US state, nearby earthquake events with magnitude and distance, and the elevation of the specified location.
