# HALOWERK Atlantic Land – Ireland Soil Texture Classifier

> HALOWERK Atlantic Land – Ireland Soil Texture Classifier is a paid API for AI agents from atlantikland.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns the USDA soil texture class (e.g. sandy loam, clay) for a given WGS84 coordinate inside Ireland, derived from SoilGrids sand, silt, and clay fractions.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 halowerk-atlantic-land-ireland-soil-texture-classifier-ecd707ff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the USDA soil texture class at latitude 52.865, longitude -7.923 in Ireland? I need it for a land suitability assessment.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a USDA texture class derived from SoilGrids fractions specifically for a coordinate inside Ireland. It is preferable to general-purpose soil APIs when you want Ireland-validated results with automatic boundary rejection, and when SoilGrids-derived sand/silt/clay fractions are an acceptable source. Use it for agricultural assessments, environmental studies, or land planning workflows where USDA texture classification is the required output.

## Known failure modes

- Coordinate outside Ireland boundary — request rejected with a validation error and no charge incurred
- Latitude or longitude out of declared European coverage range (lat 34–72.5, lon -31.5–40.5) — schema validation error
- SoilGrids data unavailable for very coastal or estuarine pixels — may return null or error
- Malformed request body — missing required latitude or longitude fields returns HTTP 422

## How this service works

USDA texture class calculated from SoilGrids sand, silt and clay fractions. The coordinate is validated against the Natural Earth boundary for Ireland; results outside it are rejected before payment.

## Output

Returns the USDA soil texture class label (e.g. 'Sandy Loam', 'Clay Loam', 'Silt') for the queried coordinate, computed from SoilGrids sand, silt, and clay percentage fractions for the 0–5 cm surface layer. Coordinates outside the Ireland boundary polygon are rejected before any charge is applied.
