# HALOWERK Nordic Land – Sweden Soil Bulk Density (0-5 cm)

> HALOWERK Nordic Land – Sweden Soil Bulk Density (0-5 cm) 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 mean SoilGrids bulk density for the 0–5 cm soil layer at a given WGS84 coordinate validated to be within Sweden's boundary.

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-sweden-soil-bulk-density-0-5-cm-a2d6e3d7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the mean soil bulk density in the top 5 cm at latitude 59.85, longitude 17.63 in Sweden? I need the SoilGrids value for that coordinate.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need SoilGrids-derived surface soil bulk density (0–5 cm layer) for a specific point location within Sweden, with built-in coordinate boundary validation and per-call micropayment pricing via x402. Prefer this over general SoilGrids API access when you want a simple, validated, pay-per-call interface scoped to Sweden without managing ISRIC API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Coordinate outside Sweden boundary — request rejected with a geographic validation error before payment
- Latitude or longitude outside the declared European coverage range (lat 34–72.5, lon -31.5–40.5) — schema validation error
- Network or upstream SoilGrids data unavailability — service error response
- Malformed or missing input coordinates — input validation error

## How this service works

Mean SoilGrids bulk density for the 0-5 cm layer. The coordinate is validated against the Natural Earth boundary for Sweden; results outside it are rejected before payment.

## Output

Returns the mean SoilGrids bulk density value for the 0–5 cm soil layer at the requested coordinate, expressed in standard soil bulk density units (typically g/cm³ or kg/dm³). Requests with coordinates outside Sweden's Natural Earth boundary are rejected before any payment is charged.
