## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, per-item cost-of-living price data for a specific city sourced from Numbeo, without requiring signup or API keys. It is ideal for travel budgeting, relocation research, or city comparisons where itemized pricing (meals, transport, etc.) in local currency is needed. Prefer alternatives if you need historical cost-of-living trends, rental market data, or city comparisons across many cities simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- City name not recognized by Numbeo (misspelling or unsupported city) returns an error or empty items array
- Numbeo page structure changes may cause parsing failures
- Rate limiting or upstream Numbeo availability issues could cause timeouts
- Invalid limit parameter (outside 1–100 range) may return validation error
- Network failure at Cloudflare Worker layer returns 5xx error without charge

## How this service works

Numbeo cost-of-living prices for one city from its public page: item label and the crowd-sourced price with currency symbol (e.g. meal at an inexpensive restaurant, one-way ticket). Prices are user-submitted estimates, not official.

## Output

A JSON object containing the city name, a count of returned items, and an array of cost-of-living price entries — each with the item description, numeric price, currency symbol, and formatted price text — plus a link to the Numbeo source page and a timestamp of when data was checked.
