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 precip-ai-hyperlocal-weather-data-api-precip-ai-temperature-hourly-3512f7df
```

Example prompt: Pull me the hourly near-surface air temperature in Celsius from Precip AI for coordinates 37.7749, -122.4194 for the past 24 hours.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need site-specific, hyperlocal hourly air temperature readings in Celsius for a precise geographic coordinate, especially for agricultural, environmental, or operational use cases where granular temperature tracking matters. Prefer this over general weather APIs when accuracy at a specific lat/lon is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude returns an error response
- Date range outside available historical or forecast window returns no data
- Missing required location parameters returns a 400 bad request
- Payment not processed results in 402 or unauthorized response
- Server-side data gap for remote locations may return partial or null values

## How this service works
