## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-open-weather-api-0f30ec4e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current weather in Chicago right now — temperature, humidity, and conditions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use weather lookups without a long-term API subscription, especially in an agentic workflow that already uses USDC on Base for micropayments. It is well-suited for one-off or low-frequency weather queries embedded in broader automation pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized city name returns an error in the result object
- Missing location input causes a 400-level error
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Upstream OpenWeatherMap API outage may cause delayed or empty responses
- Malformed request body returns a schema validation error

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a result object containing weather data for the queried location, including temperature, weather conditions, humidity, wind speed, and potentially a short-term forecast, wrapped in a standard result envelope.
