## 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 precip-ai-hyperlocal-weather-data-api-precip-ai-last-48-hours-1e6bc76c
```

Example prompt: How much rain has fallen in the last 48 hours at latitude 37.7749, longitude -122.4194? I need the total precipitation accumulation from Precip AI.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, single-number total of rainfall over the last two days for a specific location — ideal for irrigation decisions, construction planning, event readiness checks, or any use case where cumulative recent rain matters more than hourly breakdowns. Prefer the Daily endpoint if you need day-by-day breakdowns, or Recent Rain if you want details about the most recent discrete precipitation event.
