## 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-open-meteo-geocode-api-54ca4620

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call geocoding solution tightly integrated with the Open-Meteo ecosystem — especially as a preprocessing step before fetching weather forecasts. It is best suited for city-level or region-level name-to-coordinates resolution rather than fine-grained street address geocoding.

## Known failure modes

- Very small or obscure localities may return no results
- Misspelled or non-standard place names may fail to match
