## 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-openweathermap-proxy-18b38ad2 -d '<json body>'
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need weather data within a crypto-native, pay-per-request (USDC on Base) workflow and do not want to manage a direct OpenWeatherMap API key. Ideal for agents that already use x402-compatible payment infrastructure and need weather lookups as part of a broader multi-API automation. Less appropriate if you need bulk weather queries or already have a direct OpenWeatherMap subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized city name returns an error result
- Missing required location parameter causes a 400-level error
- OpenWeatherMap upstream outage may cause delayed or failed responses
- Ambiguous city names (e.g. 'Springfield') may return results for the wrong location
- Payment failure in USDC on Base chain prevents the request from being processed
