# HALOWERK Nordic Land – Finland Soil Texture Class

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

Returns the USDA soil texture class (e.g. sandy loam, clay) for a given coordinate in Finland, 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-nordic-land-finland-soil-texture-class-7af7e08e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What USDA soil texture class does SoilGrids assign to the land at 60.1699° N, 24.9384° E in Finland — is it sandy, loamy, or clayey?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, authoritative USDA soil texture classification for a specific point in Finland, backed by SoilGrids global modelled data. It is preferable to manually combining the separate sand, silt, and clay fraction endpoints (also available on the same host) when only the final texture class is needed. Best suited for applications in agriculture, ecology, hydrology, and construction site assessment within Finland.

## Known failure modes

- Coordinate outside Finland boundary — request rejected with an error before payment, no charge incurred
- Latitude or longitude outside the declared European coverage bounds (34–72.5° N, -31.5–40.5° E) — validation error
- SoilGrids upstream data unavailable for the queried cell — service error response
- Malformed or missing latitude/longitude 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 Finland; results outside it are rejected before payment.

## Output

A USDA soil texture class label (e.g. 'Sandy Loam', 'Clay', 'Silt Loam') computed from SoilGrids-derived sand, silt, and clay fractions for the 0–5 cm surface layer at the queried coordinate. Coordinates outside Finland's Natural Earth boundary are rejected before any charge is incurred.
