## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need real-time wind data (speed, direction, gusts) for a city and want a lightweight, pay-per-call API without a subscription. Prefer it over full forecast APIs when only wind conditions are needed, minimizing payload size and cost.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized city slug returns an error or empty result
- Missing city parameter may default to a generic location or return an error
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC payment is not processed correctly
- Service unavailability returns a non-200 status with no weather data
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded may result in rejection
