## 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 transitpulse-real-time-transit-status-1eef96ab
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there are any delays or service alerts on the NYC subway right now — specifically on the L and A lines?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live transit status rather than historical patterns or trip planning. Best for pre-departure checks, commuter alerts, or monitoring active disruptions. Use sibling endpoints for route reliability history, trip planning, or agency lookup.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported city or agency returns no data or an error
- Stale data if upstream transit feed is temporarily unavailable
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429
- Malformed route/line identifiers return validation error
- Partial results if only some lines have live data available
