## 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 rotary-agency-iss-tracker-c52b5d88
```

Example prompt: Where is the International Space Station right now? Give me its current latitude, longitude, altitude, and velocity.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, low-cost ($0.002/call) real-time ISS position lookup with no authentication complexity beyond x402 micropayment. Prefer it for lightweight integrations where you just need current ISS coordinates without complex orbital prediction or pass-time calculation.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream ISS data feed unavailable causing stale or missing data
- Payment not processed resulting in 402 response
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returning error response
- Occasional latency spikes if NASA/public ISS data source is temporarily slow
