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-wind-direction-hourly-83204135
```

Example prompt: What direction is the wind blowing hour by hour at coordinates 37.7749° N, 122.4194° W for today? I need the compass degrees for each hour.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need precise, site-specific hourly wind direction data in compass degrees for a specific geographic location. Prefer this over general weather APIs when hyperlocal accuracy is required, such as for drone operations, sailing, agriculture, or construction planning. Pair with Wind Speed Hourly and Wind Speed Gust Hourly from the same Precip AI platform for complete wind profiling.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing coordinates return a 400 error
- Location outside supported geographic coverage returns no data or an error
- Invalid date range returns a 400 error
- Exceeded rate limits return a 429 error
- Missing authentication or insufficient USDC balance returns a 401/402 error

## How this service works

Hourly wind direction in compass degrees (0-360)

## Output

An array of hourly wind direction values expressed in compass degrees (0-360), where 0/360 is North, 90 is East, 180 is South, and 270 is West, for the requested location and time range.
