```

Example prompt: What's the address or place name at coordinates 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a latitude/longitude coordinate and need to resolve it to a human-readable address or place name, especially in automated agent workflows that accept per-call micropayments via x402 protocol at low cost ($0.001 per call).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range coordinates (lat outside -90 to 90, lon outside -180 to 180) returning an error
- Coordinates in a remote area with no associated address data returning null or empty result
- Missing required lat or lon parameter causing a 400 bad request
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance causing a 402 Payment Required response
