## 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 uk-flood-monitoring-stations-search-6bba7274 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you search the UK Environment Agency flood monitoring station registry for stations with 'Thames' in their name so I can find the right station ID for real-time flood data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or identify specific flood monitoring stations in England by name before querying real-time flood level or flow data. It is the correct first step when you have a place name, river name, or partial station name and need the official EA station identifier. Prefer this over direct EA API calls when you want a managed, pay-per-use interface without handling EA API authentication directly.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results when no stations match the query string
- HTTP 402 if payment header is missing or USDC balance is insufficient
- Malformed JSON response if the upstream Environment Agency API is unavailable
- No results for stations outside England (Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland not covered)
- Rate limiting or timeout if the upstream EA API is slow to respond
