## 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-temperature-0-2b7ea40b
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the hourly soil temperature at 0-10cm depth for my field at 41.8781° N, 87.6298° W for the past 24 hours using Precip AI?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need time-resolved (hourly) soil temperature specifically at the shallow 0-10cm layer — ideal for agriculture, planting decisions, frost monitoring, or soil science research where near-surface soil thermal data matters more than air temperature

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing coordinates returns a 400 error
- Location outside supported coverage area returns no data or an error
- Date range too large or outside historical availability returns a 422 or empty result
- Missing API authentication returns a 401 unauthorized error
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 503

## How this service works

Hourly soil temperature data at 0-10cm depth in Celsius (°C)

## Output

An array of hourly records each containing a UTC timestamp and the corresponding soil temperature in Celsius at 0-10cm depth for the specified location
