Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability uscg-district-7-local-notices-to-mariners-bnm-data-shop-764f1201
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest U.S. Coast Guard District 7 Local Notices to Mariners and show me any current navigation discrepancies or hazards, like damaged daybeacons or structural issues?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable JSON of USCG District 7 Local Notices to Mariners without manually parsing USCG PDF files or HTML pages. It is ideal for maritime safety applications, voyage planning tools, or automated monitoring systems focused on the southeastern U.S. coast (District 7 coverage including Florida, Georgia, and nearby waters). Prefer this over scraping NAVCEN directly when you need reliable JSON output with parsed records and source attribution.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if payment is not included (x402 payment required before data is served)
- Stale or missing data if USCG NAVCEN source has not published a new LNM for the current week
- Empty notices array if no discrepancies exist for the current period
- Network timeout if upstream NAVCEN site is temporarily unavailable
- Schema mismatch if USCG changes their PDF or HTML format

## How this service works

Official public data as JSON. Unpaid paid routes return HTTP 402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: current week identifier, source URL pointing to the USCG NAVCEN page, status indicator, an array of notice objects (each with descriptive text, week, section, waterway name, and source PDF URL), and a records array (each with a unique ID, URL, date, firm/waterway, and type). Also includes a product identifier, record count, and asOf date.
