## 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 islamic-prayer-times-cb5c8d83
```

Example prompt: What are the prayer times for Mecca (lat 21.3891, lng 39.8579) today using the Umm al-Qura method, with times in Asia/Riyadh timezone and shafi madhab?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need astronomically precise Islamic prayer times with support for multiple regional calculation methods (Umm al-Qura, MWL, Egyptian, Dubai, etc.) and madhab variants. Ideal for Muslim-facing scheduling apps, travel planners, or reminder systems that need per-location, per-date salah times and qibla direction in a single call. Prefer over generic sun-event APIs because it understands Islamic calculation conventions and madhab-specific asr timing.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat or lng parameters returns a 400 error
- Invalid coordinate values outside -90/90 or -180/180 range cause computation failure
- Unrecognized calculation method string may default or error
- Invalid IANA timezone string causes fallback to UTC output
- Malformed date string (non-YYYY-MM-DD) may return today's times or an error
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the response if USDC balance is insufficient
