## 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 storm-station-247-found-weather-instruments-by-state-dd27174b
```

Example prompt: Pull up all the newly found weather instruments in Texas that aren't in the Storm Station 247 register yet — I want to see their network, type, county, location, when they were first detected, their latest reading, and their rank.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover weather instruments in a specific US state that have been detected by Storm Station 247's network but have not yet been formally catalogued in its register. It is particularly useful for coverage gap analysis, sensor network auditing, or building enriched datasets of weather observation points. Prefer this over general weather data APIs when the goal is instrument discovery and ranking rather than current conditions or forecasts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'state' query parameter returns an error
- State code not recognized or unsupported returns empty or error response
- No newly found instruments for a given state returns an empty result set
- Network timeout if the live instrument feed is temporarily unavailable
- Payment not processed (x402) results in 402 Payment Required response
