# HALOWERK Eastern Land – Cyprus Soil Texture Class

> HALOWERK Eastern Land – Cyprus Soil Texture Class is a paid API for AI agents from ostland.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns the USDA soil texture class for a given coordinate in Cyprus, derived from SoilGrids sand, silt, and clay fractions, with boundary validation.

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-eastern-land-cyprus-soil-texture-class-1ee05412 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the USDA soil texture class at latitude 34.85, longitude 33.02 in Cyprus? I need to know whether the soil is sandy loam, clay, or something else for a site assessment.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need USDA soil texture classification specifically for locations within Cyprus, backed by SoilGrids sand/silt/clay fractions. It is preferable when you require standardized texture class labels (not raw percentages) and when boundary validation against Cyprus is needed to avoid spurious results. Use sibling endpoints on the same host for other Cyprus soil or terrain metrics (coarse fragments, CEC, elevation ruggedness, etc.).

## Known failure modes

- Coordinate outside Cyprus boundary: request rejected with a boundary validation error before payment
- Latitude or longitude out of the declared European coverage range: input validation error
- SoilGrids data unavailable for the location: upstream data gap error
- Malformed or missing coordinate fields: schema validation error

## 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 Cyprus; results outside it are rejected before payment.

## Output

Returns the USDA soil texture class (e.g., sandy loam, clay loam, silty clay) for the queried Cyprus coordinate, derived from SoilGrids sand, silt, and clay fraction data for the surface layer. Coordinates outside the Cyprus boundary are rejected before any charge is applied.
