## 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 seoul-now-crowd-weather-lookup-b12871db
```

Example prompt: How crowded is Myeong-dong right now, and what's the temperature there? Give me the answer in English.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, combined crowd and weather data for a specific Seoul location in a single lightweight call, especially when building travel assistants, Seoul trip planning tools, or tourism-facing agents. Prefer it over generic weather APIs when crowd context for a named Seoul place is also needed.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized place name/code returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported language enum value causes a validation error
- Missing required 'place' query parameter returns a 400-level error
- Service may return stale data if real-time feeds are temporarily unavailable

## Output
