## 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-swiss-station-board-5348a450
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time Swiss public transport departure boards for any Swiss station, including trains, trams, and buses. It is ideal when you need line numbers, platforms, destinations, and live delay information sourced from the official Swiss opendata.ch feed. Prefer this over generic travel APIs when the user specifically needs Swiss station departure data.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled station name returns an error or empty results
- Limit value outside 1-30 range may be rejected or clamped
- Station with no upcoming departures returns an empty departures array
- opendata.ch upstream unavailability causes request failure
- Non-Swiss stations return no results as the API only covers Swiss public transport
