## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request sea temperature data without committing to a subscription. Suitable for agents that occasionally need ocean temperature lookups for travel planning, marine activities, or environmental monitoring, and want to pay only per call in USDC on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported location coordinates result in an error response
- Locations far from any ocean or sea body may return no data
- Missing required location parameters cause request failure
- Upstream data source unavailability may cause timeouts or empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure may block the request
