## 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 geocode-place-419aaea4
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the coordinates, timezone, and population for Tokyo, Japan?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to resolve a human-readable place or city name into geographic coordinates and metadata (timezone, population, elevation) with up to 5 candidate matches for disambiguation. It is ideal as a preprocessing step before calling weather, mapping, or time-zone APIs that require lat/lon. Prefer it over full-featured geocoding APIs when cost and simplicity matter and you don't need street-level address parsing.

## Known failure modes

- Place name not recognized or too ambiguous — returns empty results or low-confidence matches
- Non-existent or misspelled place name — may return no results
- Very small settlements may lack population or elevation data
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns an HTTP error

## Output

Returns the top matching place with latitude, longitude, country, region, timezone, population, and elevation, plus up to 4 alternative matches with the same fields for disambiguation.
