## 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-soil-moisture-daily-7989834b
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the daily soil moisture percentage at 0-10cm depth for my farm at coordinates 38.5449° N, 121.7405° W for the past 7 days so I can plan my irrigation schedule?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need day-level granularity of soil moisture data rather than hourly resolution, making it ideal for daily agricultural planning, weekly trend analysis, or historical drought assessment. Prefer this over the hourly endpoint when processing efficiency or daily summaries are sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range coordinates return an error
- Date range outside available historical data returns empty or error
- Missing required location parameters cause a 400 bad request
- Network timeout if the service is temporarily unavailable
- Unsupported geographic region may return no data

## How this service works

Daily soil moisture percentage relative to holding capacity at 0-10cm depth

## Output

Returns daily soil moisture values expressed as a percentage relative to the soil's holding capacity at 0-10cm depth, indexed by date for the requested location and time range.
