## 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 iss-latitude-fetch-58cbcbd0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current latitude of the International Space Station right now? Fetch it from the live tracking API and give me the value.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call lookup of the ISS's current latitude without setting up an account or managing API keys. Ideal for agents that need to occasionally check ISS position as part of a larger workflow and want a simple, single-field result rather than a full orbital data response.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream wheretheiss.at API unavailable or returns an error, resulting in a failed fetch
- Payment settlement failure over x402 protocol preventing the call from completing
- Invalid or missing prompt field causing the agent to reject the request
- Network timeout if the external ISS tracking API is slow to respond

## Output

A text response containing the extracted latitude value of the International Space Station as reported by the wheretheiss.at API at the moment of the request.
