## 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-cc238765 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me the current weather conditions for Chicago — temperature, humidity, and wind speed?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need weather data as part of a pay-per-request, crypto-native workflow using USDC on Base chain, and want to avoid managing your own OpenWeatherMap API key or subscription. Useful for agents that already operate in the x402 payment ecosystem and need occasional weather lookups without committing to a weather API subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized location name returns an error or empty result
- Missing required location parameter causes a 400-level error
- Payment not completed in USDC results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Upstream weather provider outage may cause a 502 or timeout
- Rate limiting from the underlying provider may cause intermittent failures

## How this service works
