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 real-time, comprehensive US weather alert coverage including all NWS warning types (tornado, hurricane, blizzard, flood, etc.) and ranked instrument data in a single call. Prefer it over general weather forecast APIs when the use case is emergency monitoring, breaking alerts, or safety-critical decisions rather than routine temperature or precipitation forecasts.

## Known failure modes

- Network or upstream NWS feed outage may cause stale or missing alert data
- Malformed JSON response if the upstream data feed has parsing issues
- HTTP 402 Payment Required if the x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC payment is not properly processed
- Empty alert list during calm weather periods — not an error, just no active alerts
