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 saylor-innovations-satellite-image-of-any-place-f75a81a9
```

Example prompt: Can you grab a NASA true-color satellite image centered on Los Angeles (34.05, -118.24), about 300 km wide, for today?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real, verified NASA satellite image URL for a specific geographic coordinate — especially for environmental monitoring (wildfires, smoke, floods, snow, storms). Prefer this over generic map tile APIs when true-color or false-color VIIRS/MODIS imagery is needed, or when you want daily-updated satellite views rather than static basemap imagery.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat/lon parameters returns an error
- km value outside 20-2000 range may be rejected or clamped
- No imagery available for very recent dates (NASA processing delay)
- Remote or ocean coordinates with no distinctive features may return generic imagery
- Invalid date format may return an error or fall back to most recent available image

## How this service works

Satellite Image of Any Place (NASA, daily, true color). Daily NASA satellite image of any place (true color VIIRS/MODIS, or false color), 20-2000 km wide, for any date: verified image URL plus alternate layers. Good for smoke, fires, snow, floods and clouds.

## Output

A JSON object containing a verified satellite image URL (true color VIIRS/MODIS or false color) for the requested location and date, plus the actual date of the image and alternate layer URLs for different band combinations useful for smoke, fires, snow, floods, and clouds.
