## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need rain or precipitation data for a city and want a pay-per-call model at $0.04 USDC with no subscription. Best for lightweight, on-demand rain checks integrated into AI agent workflows via the x402 payment protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized city slug returns an error or empty data
- Missing city parameter may default to a generic or undefined location
- Network timeout if the live weather data source is unavailable
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.04 per-call fee
