## 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 tollbooth-drive-time-distance-8bd61683 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How long would it take to drive from MCO airport to the Hilton Downtown Orlando — can you get me the real road driving time and distance?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real road driving time and distance between two named places (airports, hotels, stations, addresses) anywhere in the world, especially when you have human-readable names rather than coordinates. Prefer this over flight-distance or walking APIs when car travel is the mode. OpenStreetMap-based worldwide coverage makes it suitable for international queries.

## Known failure modes

- Origin or destination place name cannot be geocoded — returns error if the named place is ambiguous or not found
- Disambiguation hint ('near') required when place name is ambiguous across multiple cities
- Route unavailable if origin and destination are not road-connected (e.g., island with no bridge)
- Very long strings or malformed input may be rejected

## How this service works

Real road driving time and distance between two named places (airports, stations, hotels, addresses). OpenStreetMap-based, worldwide.

## Output

Returns the real-road driving time and distance between the specified origin and destination, computed via OpenStreetMap routing. Typical response includes travel duration and road distance in standard units.
