Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 lilambd-power-plants-nearby-76a24725
```

Example prompt: Can you find me up to 10 power plants near latitude 37.7749, longitude -122.4194, focusing on natural gas plants with at least 50 MW capacity?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover power generation facilities near a specific geographic point, especially when you need to filter by fuel type or minimum capacity. Prefer this over generic place-search APIs when the domain is specifically energy infrastructure and you need structured data with attribution. Particularly useful for energy analysts, grid planners, or sustainability researchers needing nearby plant inventories.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat or lon parameters returns an error
- Invalid coordinate values (out of range) may return empty results or an error
- Requesting more than 50 results (limit > 50) may be capped or rejected
- No plants found within range returns empty data array with count 0
- Service unavailable or payment failure returns HTTP 402 or 5xx

## How this service works

A crossing for play, feeling, language, science and computation — creating states that do not have names yet.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of nearby power plants (array under 'data'), a count of results, and an attribution/source license line. Each plant entry likely includes location, name, fuel type, and capacity details.
