## 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 waze-alerts-and-traffic-jams-api-1a306e0e
```

Example prompt: Pull the current Waze traffic jams and road alerts for the area bounded by bottom-left 40.6892,-74.0445 and top-right 40.7831,-73.9067 in New York, limiting to 30 jams and 30 alerts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live Waze-sourced traffic jam and incident alert data for a geographic area defined by a bounding box. Prefer it over generic traffic APIs when you want Waze's crowd-sourced alert types (accidents, hazards, road closures, police) with severity and speed metadata. Ideal for navigation apps, city monitoring dashboards, and route planning agents.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required bottom_left or top_right query params returns 400 validation error
- Bounding box too large may return truncated or empty results
- Invalid coordinate format causes parsing error
- No data available for remote or unsupported regions returns empty arrays
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error
