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 shelf-thirdmade-net-geo-time-probe-fbf163ae
```

Example prompt: What's the timezone, coordinates, and local currency for 'São Paulo, Brazil'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single API call to get geocode + timezone + currency together for a free-text location string, rather than chaining three separate geocoding, timezone, and currency APIs. Ideal for agent workflows that need to localize content, schedule across time zones, or display currency-aware pricing without managing multiple API integrations.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous location string may resolve to wrong place (e.g. 'Springfield' without a state)
- Unrecognized or misspelled location returns empty or error response
- Very remote or obscure locations may have incomplete currency or timezone data
- Rate limit or payment failure returns 402 or 429 status

## How this service works

Geocode + timezone + currency context for any location string.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with geocoded latitude/longitude, IANA timezone identifier (e.g. 'America/Sao_Paulo'), UTC offset, and the ISO 4217 currency code and name for the resolved location.
